What a child's work should look like

This is how our children's work should look like.



Not like this.



Please do what you can to help our underprivileged children. Whatever we can do together at Isang Bata, is already a good start. Email me at imelda.aznar@yahoo.com with your idea of how you want to help.

A CELEBRATION OF PLAY. PLAYDAY PHILIPPINES 2009.


I helped a friend, Connie Macatuno, organize this event for Saturday, August 8. It's called Playday Philippines 2009 (see playday.org.uk for reference on its origins). Playday is the annual celebration of children's right to play. And for the Philippines, we are holding it on Saturday at the football field inside Philamlife Subdivision in Quezon City.

The children will get to play with their parents and with other children. There will be directed play where children are inspired to use their imagination and creativity, a storytelling session and puppet show that will teach important values and fire up their imagination at the same time, a potluck lunch, free play, some singing, picture taking and lots of good fun and laughter!

For its first run on Saturday, the event will be by invitation only. But Connie and I will definitely bring mini Playday events to different communities through Isang Bata. This is only the beginning.
