ABOUT GK NEWS OF HOPE GET INVOLVED


How far in life can hungry kids go? Imagine having to walk at least an hour to school, and learning on an empty stomach. Repeat every day. Behind this is a story of poverty, and chances are: you will eventually drop out of school. Imagine what this means for our country with an estimated 15 million kids going hungry on a sustained basis.


Through Kusina ng Kalinga, we can help get our country’s future grown-ups back to school, to stay in school. We don’t mean forever, just long enough for them to learn what school can offer, including dreaming of a brighter future ahead!


Find out how Kusina ng Kalinga works.


FACT: San Isidro Central School (Leyte) received 81 re-enrollees when Kusina ng Kalinga started its operations in Feb 2015. Not only does a meals-in-school program improve attendance rates, it also encourages out-of-school children to go back.

This school year, aside from the daily, nutritious lunch meals, our care comes with raincoats to keep our kids from getting sick. This way, whether it’s a sunny day or a rainy day, neither hunger nor the weather can stop our kids from exercising their right to learn and play!


Let’s help get our country’s future grown-ups back to school and off to a healthy start.

*Please come with at least 5 school packs for our elementary kids, and PHP 100 as part of your community contribution. Here is our suggested school pack content, to minimize jealousy among the kids: 1 blue-and-red-lined notebook, 3 pcs Mongol pencils, art/construction paper, scissors and glue in a short, plastic envelope. On behalf of the kids, thank you!



HELP PREPARE FOR THE RAINY DAYS

Aside from hunger and general poverty, disasters and/or conflict disrupt routine and may sometimes cause our kids to stop schooling all together. In the Philippines, back to school almost always means start of the rainy season too, and while we have no control over when the next big typhoon will strike, we can definitely become better prepared for it!

Give any amount in multiples of PHP 200 and enable us to respond to disaster within the first 48 hours.

Recently, Gawad Kalinga activated Operation Walang Iwanan: El Nino as a response to the widespread hunger being caused by the El Nino phenomenon. We deviated from our usual food packs as relief response, and instead prepared meals for the kids and the elderly through our Kusina ng Kalinga kitchens. Read more: www.gk1world.com/elnino-relief
