Helping the poorest of the poor children in the Philippines to have a better life by providing them with PEARLS:
Peace, Education, Aspiration, Respect, Love, Smile.
We focus our outreach efforts in ULINGAN. Ulingan is a small slum community in Tondo, Manila that sits on a dumpsite and surrounded by charcaol factories that emit toxic smoke; there is no electricity, no access to toilets or sanitation. Children and families have no choice but to live with soot, garbage, mosquitoes, flies, vermin all day and all night. The common meal is "pagpag"(leftover food from fast-food restaurants scavenged from garbage sites) "Pagpag" means to shake away the dirt and maggots in the food.
Thank you to all our supporters who made Project PEARLS a testament to what dedicated volunteers can do to make a difference.
