Sadly, it has been a common scenario—seeing children along sidewalks with no shelter while others cross the streets to knock on car windows and beg for money.
It will probably take forever to eradicate poverty in the Philippines, but we cannot deny that small acts of kindness can go a long way. You can do your part by participating in creative initiatives from corporate partnership programs that you can access anytime and anywhere with your computer or smartphone and will not cost you a lot.

Hotel and tour booking mobile application and website TravelBook.ph, through its partnership with World Vision Philippines, has been helping send kids to school through their “Donation for Education” project. When booking a room in their favorite hotel for their vacation, customers can donate as little as PHP 1.00, which will go to the child sponsorship and culture of reading program of World Vision Philippines.
TravelBook.ph has also supported World Vision Philippines through efforts in designing Disaster Risk Mitigation Program for public schools in Isabela in 2017 and Lakbay Pag-asa in North Cotabato this 2018.

TravelBook.ph believes that “The most valuable means to nurture a child is to create a community that is both safe and resilient. When a child is provided with life’s basic necessities, has access to education, and is empowered for a holistic development, everyone takes a step forward to an improved society.”
Small acts of kindness, when put together, create a huge and lasting impact, and with the numerous opportunities—both online and offline—to contribute, maybe eradicating poverty completely can be a reality.
