The BNL Social and Cultural Club endeavors to build closer community ties between Brookhaven National Laboratory and its neighbors. It promotes, supports and encourages activities for social interaction between BNL employees and the surrounding community through ethnic food parties, outdoor picnics and barbecues, field trips, karaoke sessions, and other social and cultural activities.

Project: "Bonding-with-the-Kids" Program

The "Bonding-with-the-Kids" program at the Cantaoan Public School in Cebu, Philippines was held on Tuesday, Jan 18, 2011. We distributed about 1100 lunch packs to the school children, each pack containing "chicken, rice, & juice".

My friends, Romy and Nadia Jurani, of the Jurani-Catarata Foundation in Las Vegas, Nevada and the Miss Cebu 2010, Reena Elena Malinao, also provided strong support to this endeavor.

The project was a great success! Thanks to all the donors and volunteers who made the children of my village so happy!
