Big Brother, Big Sister.. Outreach 2009


Last year.. wow a whole year already gone by.. we placed on this blog details of a great programme that helps with the education of children in out of the reach places.This is this years appeal:-
For only THREE HUNDRED PHILIPPINE PESOS (Php300.00), you will be able to sponsor one student’s school set which contains the following items: 1 knapsack, 7 notebooks, 4 ball-point pens, 4 pencils, writing pads, crayons, sharpener and ruler.


 

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.
