In this special episode of Let’s Talk Local, we sit down with Ernelita “Ernie” Dacumos and Steve Steele to shine a spotlight on an incredible annual outreach called Christmas for the Natives — a heartfelt mission serving Aeta children in the Philippines.Ernie and Steve walk us through how this project started, the personal stories that fueled it, and how a simple act of generosity grew into a yearly movement that now brings food packs, school supplies, toys, clothing, and a whole lot of joy to hundreds of kids in Iram.They share what the preparation looks like, the impact they’ve witnessed firsthand, and how everyday people — locally and around the world — can step in to support the 2025 mission, whether through donations, spreading the word, or becoming part of the volunteer effort.It’s an uplifting conversation about compassion, community, and what happens when two people decide to show up for those who need it most.To get Involved today : https://www.eventbrite.com/e/christma...216creatorstudios.comASCAP License - [email protected]#LetsTalkLocal #LocalStoriesMatter #CommunitySpotlight #PodcastInterview #InspiringConversations #RealPeopleRealStories #ChristmasForTheNatives #AetaCommunity #AetaChildren #PhilippinesOutreach #HolidayGiving #SeasonOfSharing #GiveBackMission #HopeInAction #SpreadKindness #GlobalCompassion #ErnelitaDacumos #SteveSteele #LeadersWithHeart #ChangeMakers #CommunityLeaders #SupportTheMission #HelpMakeADifference #ActOfKindness #DonateToday #BeTheChange #GiveHope #TogetherWeRise
