“AS you all may be aware Salvation Army red Christmas kettle is one of the events we have every year across the world. It is one for the largest fund raising that we have in the salvation and our aim is to help those who are less fortunate, especially for the kids who are looking for Salvation Army to give them a gift and to provide a happy meal for them. So we are here for them and we believe with the help of the public and the donors, we will be able to achieve our goal. nToday is our opening ceremony. As you can see we have our special guest, doctor Villanueva with us and now Christmas is open. Now we are going to start our campaign Monday eleventh to December. However, we have some letter mails appeal that we have sent out there to different businesses, donor sponsor and we are asking for help. So I am asking them, please do open the letters because we see the need, and we have the beneficiaries but we just need the donors to come along and make it possible.”
