He Cares...Do You?

He Cares Foundation is a charitable org dedicated to helping the plight of poor streetchildren by providing basic needs, healthcare, education, and even livelihood programs. With the coming school year drawing near, the foundation is seeking more volunteer tutors who can lend their time and talents in teaching reading, basic English, and Math to the kids. Here's the e-mail I got from them.

Before the school year starts, please consider volunteering as a tutor!

It's okay if you can't be there always, just try it once and it will already make a HUGE difference!

The sponsored He Cares students cannot succeed in school without the dedicated volunteer tutors we have had through the years. Many of these kids do not have the privileges and resources other children have. Volunteer as a child tutor today!

The tutoring session is only around 1 hour or so only but we need to relate to the kids first and make them feel at ease.

If you would like to volunteer with a group, simply reply to tina@papemelroti.com for updates and schedules or visit He Cares . We usually go on Saturday mornings from 10-12 noon.

Aid To Children

I got this link through one of the comments posted on my blog. This site is similar to FreeRice.Com, but instead of donating rice you donate money.

What is AIDtoCHILDREN?

AIDtoCHILDREN was developed based on a desire to help under privileged children in the most impoverished places around the world. The goal of AIDtoChildren.com is simple, bring aid to children in need through learning.

How does the AIDtoCHILDREN vocabulary game work?

AIDtoCHILDREN relies on a database of thousands of questions with a sophisticated word selection process. Words are organized in 5 main levels of difficulty, with each main level having a further 4 subcategories. As you successfully answer the questions you will be able to track your movement on the difficulty scale from the right side menu. With such a wide range of words the game is suitable for all people at any age.

Does all the money generated from the game goes to charity?

YES. From the “see where the money goes” link on the main page you can view our online event with World Vision. At the end of each month we will make a donation to our online event based on the money raised by AIDtoCHILDREN.

Let's all support AIDtoCHILDREN.COM

Give A Life

Charitable causes for children are the closest to my heart. I feel very sad everytime I see a street child begging for money in the streets or rummaging a pile of garbage in search of food. This has become a common sight these days. When I was a kid, there were not that many streetchildren roaming around. I feel blessed for not having to experience this painful reality of life, and so I want to be of help to them in my own little way. But there are also a group of children that we tend to neglect because we do not see them around. It is precisely because they are sick and they are poor. Most of the diseases that afflict these kids are treatable if only they have access to proper healthcare and medicines. We can do something. Give A Life is one foundation we can support to help the children especially the sick one.

What is Give A Life Foundation?

Give A Life Foundation is a children's charity for the underprivileged sick and dying in the Philippines. The primary goal is to replace and upgrade the equipment used in the pediatric wards. The foundation has also created a new cost-effective and efficient systems for access to medicines, like antibiotics, cancer drugs, medical supplies, disinfectant, and soap for the very poorest cases.
