In observance of the Family Day Celebration, the Regional Haven for Women of the Department of Social Welfare and Development Field Office 10, had an outdoor beach activity which was participated by the residents of Haven and some members of their families and friends.

With this year’s theme, “Unity Across Generations: A strong Family, a Strong Society “ the whole day activity started with a welcome message by Ms. Nimfa Rivera, Center Head of Regional Haven  which marked the start of fun-filled activities for the residents, staff and visitors .

With the houseparents facilitating and leading the parlor games, residents enjoyed participating and winning some prizes prepared for them.  Another highlight of the activity was the recognition of the birthday celebrators from the month of April to September.
