Deeply inspired and motivated by the works of Damascus Foundation and Little Lights Ministry, Pusong Pinoy took on this food drive project to help these organizations continue their mission which is in line with ours - to promote literacy to eradicate poverty.
ABOUT DAMASCUS FOUNDATION
Damascus Foundation (DF) is a non-stock, non-profit foundation located in Dona Remedios Trinidad, Bulacan in the Philippines. It is a home for drug dependents, street children, and individuals with behavioral problems. It caters mostly to charity cases; youth who have been victimized by the drug menace in our country. Its holistic approach to rehabilitation aims to give hope and provide opportunities for a normal and functional life, providing these kids with physical, mental, and spiritual development. Apart from its rehabilitation center, DF also runs a preschool, Damascus Learning Center (DLC). A lot of children in far-away barrios of their town do not have the access to preschool or kindergarten education. Most of their parents cannot afford to send them to school because of financial difficulties. For this reason, Damascus opened DLC for the children of indigent families of the town. Its mission is to nurture back to health and educate undernourished children in its town and provide livelihood opportunities to their parents.
ABOUT LITTLE LIGHTS
Little Lights Ministry, as part of 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 are 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 ages 2 to 15 years.
