The Embassy of the People's Republic of China in the Philippines and the Life of Joy Foundation, an institution that provides medical and educational support to Filipino youth in need, have donated food packs and school supplies to approximately 300 children from the neighboring communities and partner non-government organizations of the De La Salle-College of Saint Benilde.

The said donation drive, dubbed as Love Sharing, commemorates the Chinese National Day and the Filipino-Chinese Friendship Day. It was conducted in collaboration with the DLSU-CSB's Center for Social Action. Beneficiaries include learners aged four to 13 from Barangays 41, 46 and 48 from the City of Pasay and Barangays 731, 742, 743, 745, 746, 752 and 755 from the City of Manila.

To express their gratitude to the donors, the children prepared a program that exhibited the respective culture and friendly relations between the two nations. Some recipients championed the traditional Filipino and Chinese costumes in a fashion show.

Others channeled talent and creativity in a poster-making contest themed "Together, we can make a difference." A dance competition likewise provided a venue for the kids to showcase their respective interpretations of the Fan Dance, Ribbon Dance and Umbrella Dance, as well as demonstrate the Philippine folk dances Tinikling, Maglalatik, and Cariñosa.

The embassy and Life of Joy Foundation likewise extended support to the non-profit NGOs committed to promote the physical, social, economic and educational well-being of the youth, such as Educational Research and Development Assistance Foundation, Inc., AKAP sa Bata Philippines, GEMS Heart Foundation, and Unang Hakbang Foundation.
