Christmas For Payatas
2008 | Gifts and Giving, Holidays
This is maybe the only time of year when people’s hearts open a little more freely, and even though there’s a money crunch going on in the U.S. right now, many of us have the ability to give a little bit, and a little bit is better than nothing, right?
Well, if like so many celebrities and politicians, you’re in the holiday spirit, and you’ve got a few extra dollars, please consider donating to Christmas For Payatas who are raising donations to give the people of Payatas – who are living in horrible conditions every day. I can’t explain it as well as they do, so here’s some media directly from the website. Please, please give what you can!
The landfill in Payatas, The Philippines, is notoriously known the world over as Smokey Mountain. For over 35 years, the smoking dump site has grown to become a stark and heart-tugging reminder of the desperate onditions of humanity.
On a daily basis, children pick through newly arrived garbage to
collect material to sell. The earnings made by one child are not enough to even buy food for the day. Hence, entire families are forced to climb the mountain each day, hoping to earn enough to feed everyone. Children as young as four years old are forced to work in this daily struggle for survival.In response to the plight of these children, Totedaddy.com is working with Lighthouse Center For Children Foundation to bring a little cheer to the children this Christmas.
Totedaddy.com has kicked off with a cash sponsorship of USD 10,000 to enable the children to celebrate Christmas. FusionExcel International has also pitched in a USD 5,000 in cash sponsorship. The money raised
will help fund the projects already in place, and help fund additional projects aimed at providing better housing, and a means of livelihood for the Payatas community.It is hoped that by creating better awareness to the plight of these children, more support can be garnered towards their betterment. Together we can bury poverty!
