Kerygma Asia planted its humble beginnings in February 2010 at Sitio Tawi-Tawi along the riverbanks of the Pasig-Cainta boundary where drug dealing, drinking sprees, gambling, and street brawls is a way of life. Out of this concern, Little Lights was born. As the ministry continued its mission, they came across out-of-school and never-schooled children which led them to start "Learning Lessons," a progressive Montessori-type learning system for 2 to 15 years old. They also provide feeding and hygiene programs.
Deeply inspired and greatly motivated by the works of Ptr. Joseph and his brethren, Pusong Pinoy launched this project to help them continue their mission which is in line with ours - to promote literacy to eradicate poverty. In addition to the 500 children's books we are giving them, we are also asking for donation of school supplies and food items. We need to feed these children to nourish their mind.We are calling on all our kind-hearted HEROES to put your hearts into this wonderful cause. Here is a list of items most needed by Little Lights and the community they serve:
