LAST CALL FOR DONATIONS

We will be distributing the goods to the Sikatvill school kids on July 10. And we will be accepting donations until tomorrow, June 30. So if you plan to share, please get in touch with me or Dino to arrange pick up or drop off details.

The kids we are helping swelled from 40 to more than 100. The daycare center in Sikatvill is said to be absorbing some of the children who belong to the demolished communities by the railroad tracks. Initially, we thought of conducting a daily feeding program for a month. But due to the latest developments, we will most probably use the cash to make sure all 100+ children get their school supplies.

First things first: I would like to thank (a million times over) the numerous people who have helped by giving money, giving food, giving supplies, expertise, moral support, kind words and encouragement. I can't name everyone right now, there are too many, but you know who you are. The children will surely be very grateful and happy for your help.

In case there are people who want to extend last minute help, we need more of these: envelope bags, notebooks, pad paper, eraser, crayons, ruler, paste/glue, water color, ballpens, scissors, milk packs, water bottles, short brown envelopes and short plastic envelopes.

We also plan to give the children some snacks during the event. We will be serving milk (thanks to Maroz) and, most probably, sandwiches. If anyone wants to sponsor the food, we will be grateful. Right now we need about 30 milk packs (single serve), and about a hundred servings of sandwiches :)

If you want to join us on Friday, please don't be shy and come! Extra hands are always welcome. Besides, Dino and I are nice people :)

Finally, I'm excited to announce that we have a couple of new activities up our sleeves. One of them is a pretty regular and mobile event that aims to entertain and nourish underprivileged Filipino children. We will be meeting with a new partner over the weekend to finalize details. We are certainly hoping that more people will volunteer their time, expertise or resources so we can extend more help to more children.
