Philippines, Call for donations! Kadamay's School Bag Project
Warm greetings comrades in the international community!This coming June will be the resumption of classes for primary and secondary schools all over the Philippines. With the stark inequalities in the Philippines, many children do not have access to the basic tools and supplies they need to fully experience the education in schools.
With this, Kadamay along with the Urban Poor Resource Center of the Philippines (UPRCP), presents the "School Bag Project" for the second year. Last year, hundreds of bags with supplies were gathered for the benefit of urban poor children.
This is just a small part of the urban poor population yet it helps to foster greater solidarity among organizations and communities. This year, we hope to gather enough for a minimum of 500 school bags for each community in and around Metro Manila which hosts the biggest concentrations of urban poor Filipinos. We hope your organization can help us in this endeavor in any way possible in our humble project.
