Gift of Hope – Year 7: Why This Project Defines the Kiwanis Club of Lubao Gems

A Signature Kiwanis Service Project Since 2019


Since 2019, Gift of Hope has been the signature service project of the Kiwanis Club of Lubao Gems, reflecting our long-term commitment to Serving the Children of the World. What began as a small outreach initiative has grown into a meaningful annual tradition for the Aeta children of Nabuclod, Floridablanca, Pampanga.


Serving the Aeta Children of Nabuclod


Each year, the project reaches the entire student population of Nabuclod Integrated School. In 2025, 602 Aeta students benefited from food packs, care items, and a joyful Christmas celebration—ensuring that every child feels included, valued, and supported.


Creating Impact Beyond Material Support


Gift of Hope addresses more than basic needs. By providing a shared celebration, the project nurtures emotional well-being, belonging, and dignity—especially important during the Christmas season when many families face limitations.


A Strong Partnership Built on Trust and Shared Mission


The success of this project is made possible through the enduring partnership with ALQCF. Their continued trust, generosity, and shared commitment to serving children have strengthened the project over the years, demonstrating the power of collaboration with a common purpose.


Honoring Indigenous Culture and Community Pride


A defining feature of Gift of Hope is its integration of Aeta cultural traditions, including traditional dances performed by the children. This cultural recognition fosters pride, respect, and deeper connections between the community and Kiwanis volunteers.


Inspiring Membership Growth Through Meaningful Service


The project has become a catalyst for attracting new Kiwanis members who are inspired by its visible impact and clear alignment with Kiwanis values. It also reinforces engagement among existing members through hands-on, purpose-driven service.


A Legacy of Sustainable Service and Hope


More than a one-day activity, Gift of Hope represents sustainability, compassion, and long-term community partnership. As the signature project of the Kiwanis Club of Lubao Gems, it continues to create lasting change—one child, one community, and one act of service at a time.
