Employees of the SM City Rosales here brought cheers anew to over 30 kids during the “ChriSMiles” event last December 16.
 
Roselle Gale, public relations officer of the SM City Rosales, said the ChriSMiles is a volunteerism activity of SM Supermalls that aims to make more people smile especially this holiday season.
 
She said the initiative started in 2012 that seeks to encourage all SM employees nationwide to be more appreciative of their individual blessings by sharing these with the underprivileged sectors of society.
 
This year, the children of SM City Rosales’ janitorial services were chosen to be the beneficiaries of the annual employee volunteerism program of the mall.
 
“Children were treated to a free movie screening at the SM Cinema and enjoyed numerous parlor games and simple ‘salo-salo’ with the employees,” Gale said.
 
As Christmas is a season of giving, the SM employees did not forget to wrap their gifts for the kids.
 
“From dolls, cars, kitchen set to robots, each child received an early Christmas gift and SM Cares’ Bears of Joy,” she added.
 
SM employee Lovely Macanlalay said that she felt humbled because with just a little time and effort, she made other people happy.
 
“They (children) are so innocent and sincere, making their happiness very sincere too,” Macanlalay said.
