“I would like to thank the RSCC for taking care of me before I got adopted by the Meegan family. I still remembered the time when I was going to school with my fellow former residents and learned ABCs. Now, I am Director and Assistant Principal in a private primary school in Boston, Massachusetts,” Ms. Celia Meegan, former child of Reception and Study Center for Children (RSCC), proudly shared during the RSCC 52nd founding anniversary celebration which carried the theme, “Tama at Wastong Pag-aruga, Dulot ay Masaya at Malusog na Bata” held on July 26, 2016 at RSCC, Quezon City.
Meegan served as an inspiration to all the residents and guests during the momentous event. She encouraged the children to never stop dreaming and praying. She also said that they should always be thankful to the blessings they are receiving everyday.
Meanwhile, partners and donors were recognized for the untiring support and resources they provided to further serve the residents through the promotion, protection, and rehabilitation of children, victims of abuse and with special needs and those who are at risk. Pastor Roel Tiamson of Christian Heritage Foundation said, “It is very rewarding to work for the children by providing sports activities and spiritual enrichment.”
In addition, some 12 staff were awarded for their dedication and commitment in performing their responsibilities effectively and demonstrating noteworthy attitude at work.
Assistant Regional Director for Operations Jacel J. Paguio affirmed the inspiration brought by Celia Meegan and call for continuous partnership with the donors to wholeheartedly work together in making the difference in the life of the residents.
