Posted by gksiga
SMART Communications (Smart) gave cheer to 37 families of PLDT-SMART Amazing Gawad Kalinga (GK) Village in Sooc Arevalo, Iloilo when they gave out food packs and household stuff to them.
Maria Jane Paredes, manager for Smart Public Affairs for Visayas and Mindanao, said that Christmas is a good time to express gratitude for the blessings they received in 2008. “What better way to be grateful than by sharing these blessings to others,” she said.
Smart employees turned over two industrial sewing machines to support the residents' livelihood. Through these machines, tarpaulins are converted into bags and then sold.
