Every December, SK Jojit Floro who is a Past Royal Patron of Model Court and the incumbent Master of Model Lodge makes his annual gift-giving pilgrimage to the "Bahay ni San Jose" orphanage in San Antonio, Nueva Ecija.
For this year's edition, the Sir Knight is accompanied by a delegation from Model Court and Model Lodge who collected donations of milk, rice, assorted food items, and hygiene kits form their members to support his vow.
What made this year's visit to the orphanage special are the fishball cart and home made ice cream that was mobbed by the orphans, most of whom have never experienced the childhood excitement of skewering fishballs [and kikiam and day-old chicks too!] as it cooks, and seldom enjoy the pleasure of an ice cream, courtesy of Bro. Emil Andrew Dela Rosa.
At the end of the day, there were 43 happy orphans, two thankful nuns, and a group of humbled adults who went home satisfied that they were able to make a difference how little it may be, and left a promise that they will come back next year, both Model Court and Model Lodge, to help Sir Knight Jojit perform his vow.
