Next weekend we will be hosting our 5th Children’s Fair of 2014 and our first adventure in Calauan, Laguna! The community we will be spending time with represent hundreds of families relocated by 2009’s Typhoon Ondoy/Ketsana, and 2013’s Supertyphoon Yolanda/Haiyan. This same community was also hit hard by the recent storm Glenda, which brought damage to their homes, power outtages and food shortage.
This is the largest number of children we have ever invited to an activity and we need your help to make this happen! The nuns and priests that have been ministering in this community have a daily feeding program for about 1500 children! There is no shortage of children in the community and we welcome the opportunity to share hope with so many little ones.
Below are some ways you can get involved:
VOLUNTEER
We need many volunteers for our activity with 1500 children! Volunteers need to be able to commit 5am – 6pm on the day of the event. We will provide transportation to and from Union Church of Manila, in Legaspi Village, Makati.
If you are interested, please respond to this email or get in touch with me (Tanya) at 09178274755. All volunteers must confirm attendance by Sunday, August 17th, and will receive volunteer info via email.
SHARE or DONATE
Children will be receiving a Buhay Makulay tshirt, a box of crayons, a prize or two from some games, and food for the day. All donations will be going toward items such as these that go to the children, and not toward transportation or logistics (unless specified by the donor).
If you would like to donate in kind, we would gladly receive any of the following items for this activity:
-simple toys (stuffed toys, yoyos, balls, dolls, nothing that requires batteries)
-school supplies (notebooks, pencils/pens, pencil cases)

PRAY with us
The Children’s Fair is a fantastic opportunity to share the joy and hope of Jesus with children living in the midst of different challenging situations – chronic/terminal illness, extreme poverty, abuse, or abandonment. Pray that their hearts begin to open, ready to receive the love of God, shared through us.
