Loot Bags for Cadayunan Primary School Christmas Party

Last December, CDO Bloggers Inc went to Cadayunan Primary School in Besigan for our Christmas Outreach Program. But then, when we went there, the toothbrushes from Firefly Toothbrush had not arrived yet. They did arrive three days after. So we resolved in going back to Cadayunan Primary School for a Loot Bag giving during their Christmas party which was scheduled on December 16, 2011.

However, in the evening of December 13, 2011 we received word that the kids will be coming to the city on the 16th, and that their Christmas Party had been moved earlier by a day, December 15, 2011. Because the schedule was moved, we have not been able to go there for each of our personal reasons and schedules plotted beforehand. So instead, we opted to simply send the loot through their adviser, Sir Joseph.

 We were so lucky that Guard Insect Repellent Lotion was added to the loot.

And while toothbrushes were given by Firefly Toothbrush, blogger friend, Dhadha Garcia, provided the toothpastes that we added in the Christmas pack.

I met Sir Joseph at Jollibee Carmen, which was the meeting point during the previous trip to Besigan.

I was so thankful that Lili's Christmas party was scheduled December 19, for most of the members were busy with kids' Christmas parties at their schools, and all other Christmas related engagements that day. At least, I was able to meet their adviser as early as 6 A.M., and when I met him, I learned that he and Teacher Reyn were still busy cooking food to be brought to Besigan.. 

Well, we all know that December 16 midnight and December 17, 2011 was the infamous TS Sendong tragedy. This is actually a long overdue post due to TS Sendong complications from December 2011 onwards.

It was only in February 2012 that I saw the pictures of the kids during their Christmas Party.. 

I am glad that the kids are okay after TS Sendong also hit some parts of Besigan. I am happy that they liked our small token of love.. 

And they are all thankful to all sponsors too. Thank you so much for making the kids at Cadayunan Primary School happy..

Aside from the items above, included inside the loot are candies, toys, biscuits and cookies and money tokens for each kid. Below is what each child will get inside the loot bag...

Thanks to my friend Amy for the money tokens. The plan was to give them inside Red Pockets, but changes went with the changes in the schedule.. We are glad Teacher Joseph made it possible for us to still send what we all wanted to give..

I would also like to thank Mommy Raya, another mommy blogger who lives in Thailand for the candies. The biscuits and cookies were from our own stock at home. My daughter told me that she wanted to give them away for the kids at Cadayunan Primary School, after seeing all the photos of our previous visit.

Things To Look For In A Freight Shipping Company

Some things that you need to consider when looking for a freight shipping company.

Sending and transporting cargo via freight shipping is no simple matter. Various factors can affect not just the delivery time, but also the overall condition of your cargo. This is extremely important especially if your cargo is of sensitive nature, of great value, expensive, fragile, or of personal importance.

To make sure you get the best freight shipping services available, here are some of the things that you should look for.

·         Local pickups. An excellent shipping company takes the responsibility of transporting your cargo from the source all the way to its destination. In other words, a good shipping company takes the worry of taking the package from your house to the company or to any other packaging center away from your hands. No, it’s not supposed to be an extra service. It’s more like a show of confidence on the company’s part. If they aren’t even confident enough in transporting your package from your house to the delivery or packaging centers, then what more to the cargo’s intended destination?

·         Versatile packaging services. Second, freight shipping companies should cater to its customers’ needs and requests. They should be versatile enough to be able to accommodate any type of package and have the appropriate means to safeguard the cargo. Freight Dynamics, for example, offers custom packaging services like foam-in-place packaging, palletizing, or completely customizable crating. Others, however, are limited to just standard-sized crates, bubble-wraps, and shrink-wraps. If you’re looking for a secure shipping company to take care of your valuable cargoes, go for the one that offers you the most choices of security and packaging systems.

·         Complete packaging, storage and transportation system in one. Most freight shipping companies partner with cheap freight moving services and other third party movers to complete the transfer of their cargos. In other words, they outsource some of the work that they promised to deliver. How exactly does this affect your package? Since third party groups don’t necessarily have the same commitment as the original freight shipping company you chose, you cannot expect them to place the same amount of care on your cargo as the first shipper you talked to. In contrast to this, if your shipping company is a complete system on its own, complete with movers all the way to local delivery crews, they are the only ones who would handle your cargo. They would put better care of your things.

·         Warehousing and Distribution Services coupled with real-time Inventory Monitoring. For special cargoes that require inventories, only a limited number of shipping companies offer warehousing services and meticulous distribution services. And even for the few who do, even fewer real-time online access to inventory monitoring. So if your cargo is of the same sensitive type, better look for these specialized shipping companies.
