In celebration of the Church's 5oth year here in the Philippines, the Church organized the "National Day of Service." In this program, each ward in the whole country had identified a certain place that they would render service with.
The Cebu City Stake did the same too. On the morning of April 23, 2011, all the five wards (Apas, Mabolo, Ward 1, Ward 5, and Talamban Ward) rendered services in their respective areas.
Apas and Mabolo Wards were assigned at the Camp Lapu-lapu National High School. They painted the railings outside the school and did some painting jobs inside the campus as well. There were more or less forty in attendance in the Apas Ward, composed of both young and old.

The members of the Ward 1 and Ward 5 rendered their service at Lahug National High School. They cleaned the school campus and painted the classrooms. They were all so excited to work. Seeing them in the picture below, one can tell that they are so prepared...

"The life of a man consists not in seeing visions and in dreaming dreams, but in active charity and in willing service."
