PUSONG PINOY LAUNCHED "KARITON PROJECT PARA SA DTC"

On September 1, 2009, PUSONG PINOY launched a fundraising project, "KARITON PROJECT PARA SA DTC" spearheaded by Pusong Pinoy Hong Kong Team: TL Jay Martinez and VTL Jinky Sonsalla. The goal is to raise funds towards the purchase of two karitons (classroom pushcarts) for Dynamic Teen Company.

Volunteers of DTC pushes a “kariton” or pushcart in the slum areas of Cavite. Instead of the stereotyped contents like garbage, the pushcart contains books and other educational materials that are being shared to the children in these slum areas; hence, the term "Kariton Klasrum" (classroom pushcart).

DTC has been nominated as a CNN Hero for 2009. To know more about DTC, click on the links below to watch the videos:
