THE Compassion for Humanity Int’l Group Inc. (CHIGI) will hold a medical mission tomorrow, Dec. 17, at the Livingston­e Covenant Christian Fellowship in the northern town of Liloan, Cebu from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.

With the theme, “Touching hearts through health, wellness and better vision,” 150 volunteers from CHIGI, including the medical team, are expected to serve the needs of at least 500 Cebuanos.

Tomorrow’s activity will be the group’s second medical mission for 2016. The group aims to organize a medical mission at least twice a year.

CHIGI is a non-profit organizati­on that focuses its efforts toward community developmen­t, especially in helping alleviate poverty in the region.

The group was organized last Sept. 2, 2015, and it is currently holding office at Bldg. 3, Unit 105, Urban Homes, Tipolo, Mandaue City.

The group’s mission to spread love to the beneficiar­ies were also made possible through the help of its sponsors and donors who share the same passing in giving.

The CHIGI recently launched a fundraisin­g program dubbed as “Your change can make a change,” where an individual can purchase a coin bank for P20, post a selfie challengin­g three friends with the hashtag #CHIGICHANG­E, and drop a P10 coin for 30 days.
