Occasions of Joy 2nd Anniversary at Grace to be Born

Last February 20, Occasions of Joy celebrated 2nd anniversary by holding an outreach program. Together with other friends and co-bloggers, I joined with Joy in the said activity for a good cause.

Giving a joyful party for moms and moms-to-be is just one activity worth supporting for. A medical mission was done in the morning.
