" One penny - change a life..."

This blog was created not for profit motive or personal gain but for the purpose of changing the lives of the street children in the Philippines.

This blog is made available because the blog owner observed that the number of street children in the country has been increasing and this is actually a significant problem that the people in the government has taken for granted.

With this effort as an advocacy work to help the street children, the following objectives of this are:

1) To provide a shelter for these young boys and girls.
2) To give them clean and safe food to eat and water to drink.
3) To provide them a quality education for better future.

Because of this, the blog owner is asking the help of those who are kind-hearted to donate just " a single penny" that would create a change to the lives of the street children.

Street Children in the Philippines

Street Children in the Philippines

Street Children in the Philippines is a significant problem. There are about 1.5 million street children in the country. Everyday, at least a street child is seen walking along the streets, looking for a place to stay, a food to eat.

These street children are actually those who experienced family problems, hunger, violence, escape from their homes and live on the streets.

They actually engaged in scavenging, child labor, begging, peddling, drugs and petty theft. Their rights are actually abused by others.

In terms of genders balance, it is said that there are 2/3 males and 1/3 females who are street children and they are from seven years old to 16 years old.

Because of this serious problem, the owner of this blog wants to give help for this very less fortunate individuals. These young boys and girls who might be the hope of the fatherland must be given an equal rights, a right to live in nice way, a right to education and many more...

So, the blog owner is calling those who are with good and generous hearts to share what they have for these young boys and girls, for them to be given a shelter to live in, a clean and delicious food to eat and an education for a better future.

Donate for Street Children's Christmas Party and Get a T-shirt, a Mug, a Tumbler or a Pin...You help and you make a difference!

Since, the ultimate goal of this blog site is to help the street children, a first project inlined to this goal will happen on December 25, 2010. This is a "Christmas Party for Street Children".

This Christmas party would be a whole day activity where in street children who are begging on the streets will be gathered in one place and they will be given a different Christmas party of which they would experience a different life even for a single day that would actually give them HOPE. With this party prepared for them, they would feel that they are not ignored by the society, that they are loved, cared and valued.

A total of 30 or more street children are expected to be in this Christmas celebration. For one whole day, they will be given nutritious and clean food to eat, clothes that they can wear, slippers, and other things that they need. They will also be given some educational materials that they can use at least a good start and a hope for them that in due time they will be given their rights to education.

Part of this activity is that they will be given at least few hours of non-formal education especially for personal hygiene as it is the most needed for them.

There would be parlor games for them to enjoy and the party would end with distribution of material gifts for these street children.

Of course, this program would not end here, but this would be a continued until the three main goals will be realized.

But then, all of these will not be realized if with out the support of other people. With this, I am knocking at your heart to please, help us realize this dream starting with the " Christmas Party for Street Children".

For those who have a soft and kind-heart there, please donate any amount you can then we will give you something a t-shirt, a pin or a tumbler and or a mug as our token of appreciation.
