Looking for a meaningful way to spend your Saturdays?
Join us at our Feeding and Brain Booster Program in Helping Land, Tondo!
Saturday is Art Day in Project PEARLS. Every Saturday, we serve hearty meals such as rice and viand bread, and banana to around 400 kids. After the feeding program, we conduct the brain booster sessions focused on arts and crafts to help the kids develop their creativity and love for Filipino arts and culture.
As a volunteer, you will be part of this heartwarming experience by assisting with food preparation, set-up, serving, and cleaning up. You will also be a "Teacher-for-a-day" as you guide the kids in their art activity. It is truly a unique exercise that both kids and adults can enjoy!
Volunteers are encourage to bring snacks, toiletries, coloring books, and crayons to supplement the feeding program.

- 7:15 to 7:30 AM: Meet-up with volunteers
