This year's venue would be the community in Mt. Asog, Buhi, Cam Sur
It's a joy to watch children running around and playing in the streets. However, for many children in the Philippines who are in the streets, it is not a school holiday, but a harsh reality - their parents can not afford to buy them enough school supplies to send them to school.
The Big Brother Big Sister (BBBS) Community Outreach Program, conceived in the year 2005, is here to fill that need for these children, especially those who live in remote mountain areas. Each year, sponsors and volunteers carry the school supplies and trek through mountain trails to give them to the children in person. On May 16-17 this year, BBBS will visit the communities of Mt. Asog in Buhi, Camarines Sur to distribute school packs to the children.
For only THREE HUNDRED PHILIPPINE PESOS (P 300.00) or approximately SEVEN U.S. DOLLARS (USD 7.00), a big brother or sister may sponsor one student's school supplies for one year.
FIVE HUNDRED children need big brothers and big sisters like YOU!
Now on its fifth year, BBBS owes its success to donors and volunteers who earnestly heeded the call for big brothers and sisters. Through their generosity, BBBS brought hope to 295 children in Itogon, Benguet in 2005, 535 children in Lacub, Abra in 2006 and 500 kids in Tanudan, Kalinga in 2007.
In 2008, BBBS went to two remote mountain areas in Benguet: Taba-ao, Kapangan and Palina, Kibungan, reaching out to 700 children.
Your pledge might just be what is needed for that little push in the right direction—to keep the kids in school. Kindle the flames of hope for a better tomorrow… Click here to know the details on how to become a volunteer or donor.
