31st MEU/USS Ashland at the CPDC

Last Saturday, MEU/USS Ashland together with the 1st Battalion 5th Marines and Sailors visited, joined some activities and had luncheon with the children at the CPDC.
 
The day started with a tour of the CPDC compound showing how we become self-sufficient in our own little way, followed by some football matches and other fun games for the children. The Marines and Sailors played jolly activities together with the children, which every participant enjoyed a lot.
 
After the lunch was served, the Navy and the children posed for a group picture.
 
Despite the strong gusty winds, the day ended with a good camaraderie, laughter and fond memories with the Marines and Sailors, the CPDC children, career, volunteers, social workers and staff.
 
Thank you to all the Marines and Sailors for the visit and the kind donations such as toiletries, books and much more. We are looking forward to see you all at your next visit.
