Magic Works! The Magic thought by JK Rowling

Hogwarts Philippines did another Magic Work entitled Christmas in November with the kids of Hospicio de San Jose. I guess this is one of the great things J.K. Rowling was able to convey from her Harry Potter books. Magic through Charity!

Though it is late, I would like to share with you the info graph made for this event courtesy of Prefect Abby of Slytherin.

 

Here’s a brief information about Hospicio de San Jose, it is a home for homeless babies, kids, adults, and elder people. Everyone in this institution do live a normal life, they go to school, they are fed, they are treated when wounded, just like how you are being treated in your own home. People who want to adopt may go here. Swear! All kids in here are cute.

For more info about Hospicio de San Jose, you may visit their website.

Okay, to share with you my experience in doing magic at Hospicio, I’ll give you the most detailed idea I could write of what happened as we do the magic.

We arrived at Hospicio before 9AM to start decorating the room (btw, you can see the invitation we had to gather volunteers for this reason). We put up a Christmas tree, set garlands on windows, wrap more gifts, set-up a play area, and warm ourselves up to prepare for those energetic kiddos.

Volunteers are either taking care of a baby or assisting those who are taking care of a baby either of those are tiring yet fun. We feed them, play with them, and of course, had a picture taking with them. The fun didn’t stop with those babies.

After those babies, we took care of kids. There were the ones who played in the play area we set-up. By the way, thank you to our generous sponsors. Without them, this won’t be made possible. These kids are sort of everything, they have this cute little drummer boy who cried after his sticks where grabbed by other kids, a reader who reads in the corner, a kid who does not accept gift, a kid who peeks under the skirt of the girl, and a lot more kids you could think of.

Since we were only given up to 12noon, we send them already to their rooms. It’s nap time! Nap time means lunch for us. It’s fun to see everyone looks tired with a smile on their faces. Fun… Fulfilling… Thankful… You could really have a bag of emotions after that.

For those who wants to join us as we celebrate our fandom through magic and other great wizard activities, you may visit our Facebook Page or join our Facebook Group or directly join at pinoyharrypotter.org and get sorted.

Before I end this, I would like to share with you a video of another Magic made by wizards in Brazil.
