2. Rebuild the dreams of underprivileged youth
Try: Pangarap Shelter
Location: Barangay 89, Zone 9, Pasay City
Target: Former streetchildren who are undergoing rehabilitation and therapy.
Simple Step: Ask your parents if you can sponsor the education of one of the kids. While cash donations are welcome, donations of clothes, books, beddings, and useable furniture will help make the kids' lives more confortable as well.
Extra Challenge: Be a Math, Science and English tutor to these kids every Saturday. It will take just three hours of your time, and give you that fulfilling experience of being an ate to someone.
