Volunteer Skills
Teacher
Do you know a livelihood skill that
underprivileged men and women can learn? We want to have a country
where everyone can earn a decent living and we can only do that by helping
those who don't have the right opportunities they badly need to provide for
their families.
Sample skills: dressmaking, cooking,
crafts making, metalworking, repairing cars, reflexology, cosmetology,
etc. The skill should not entail a lot of capital to get going.
We invite you to share what you know. Even for 1 session with these
families, you may change a life! The recipients number to more
than 70 families.
Simply e-mail us at
and
let us know what you would like to teach. We hope to hear from
you soon!
Help Preserve Our Water! Save the La Mesa Dam!
Our source of
Metro Manila water is in danger. Please read the article below and take
a stand not only for our last remaining forest in the city but for the
safety of our people.
We encourage
you to be informed on this issue - see the website and sign the online
petition form. Be knowledgeable as to why saving the environment is
"pro-poor" rather than "anti-poor". Let's be involved in this issue as
it involves each and every one of us. Click to
http://www.lamesaecopark.com/
Signature sheets are also available at Papemelroti branches. Let's
do our share to protect our future.
If you're the kind of
dude or dudette who would climb up a tree for a stranded kitten or could be
a foster parent to a baby lion cub, you may be a candidate for membership
for the My Zoo Foundation. You can also try volunteering for a day to
see if this type of conservation work suits you. My Zoo aims to
improve the quality of our zoos and animal life in general, as well as
provide an environment of caring for these animals that give us so much joy.
