Imagine going through a schoolyear with no paper and pencil. That's how desperate the need is for so many children for basic school necessities. To respond to this need, Pusong Pinoy has launched another major project - ALAY MULA SA PUSO (Gift from the Heart). In this project, we are collecting donations for school supplies which will benefit more than 500 children from the Mangyan Tribes in Mindoro, Damascus Foundation in Bulacan, and Kabuyao Elementary School in Benguet.
Please be advised that Gusing Elementary School in Ilocos Sur and Kids for Christ in Cebu will no longer be recipients of this project. It came to our attention that another benefactor has stepped in to donate their much-needed school supplies at this time. We are extremely happy for them and we wish them all the best!
We are once again calling on all HEROES to help! Please show your support for these underprivileged children by making a donation today. Your cash donation will go towards the purchase of these much-needed school supplies. We will also gladly accept in-kind donations.
