With the Zamboanga Crisis, several evacuation centers have sprouted as the number of evacuees have escalated to more than 120,000 people. We see how depressing their life has become as basic resources become more elusive.
The Archdiocese Social Action Group headed by Director Fr. Alain Ruiz and Sr. Ces developed the THERAPEUTIC SHOW as a way to help in sharing joy with the evacuees... some kind of Stress Debriefing!
One of the Evacuation Centers is the Immaculate Conception Elementary School and here are some scenes:

I'd like to share some photos taken during the show at ICES Jumbo on Day 13, all taken by Fr. Elmer Sumile.
Fr. Elmer is also using his talent in photography to be able to share the message of hope and inspiration!
Fr. Jude Duncombe, ICES Director welcomes everyone.
Songs

Baloons and clowns
Message from Social Action Apostolate through Darren Torres, Program Director.
Here is Fr. Elmer's message to the Team through FB:

THE ACTIVITY IS WORTHWHILE...EVEN FOR A WHILE WE MAKE THEM LAUGH AMIDST THEIR ANXIEITIES ADN PROBLEMS
This is such an innovative way to share... sharing world-class talents for free!
I salute the people who conceptualized the show... the talents who gave great joy to the adults and kids alike...and of course, to the movers and all the support staff who made the show a success!
They have prepared the show to be presented to the different evacuation centers:
Day 12 = Tetuan
Day 13 = ICES Jumbo
Day 14 = ICAS HS
Day 15 = Pasonanca
Day 17 = Grandstand
Thank you so much for sharing your HEART and YOUR GOD-GIVEN TALENTS to the evacuees!!!
