Mercy in Action Drop In's, a charity work for Street Children

in #non-profit7 years ago (edited)

Doing volunteer works is really my passion, I don't have so much to offer, but I believe that I have a rich heart. I think degrees, education or race doesn't count on giving a hand to the needy. I'm delighted that my company chose me to be  a project coordinator for charity works which is one of my dreams. We already created various projects, strategies and visited to varieties of organization in the aim of helping the poorest.


Hence Steemit gave us the freedom to post anything or shout out what our heart and mind says, I will share to you another charity works we managed.  

  "Mercy in Action" is a non-profit organization in Cebu City,Philippines that helps the less fortunate kids who live and wander around the streets. Basically street children can drop in at anytime. It was run by some volunteers in the UK who wants to make a difference to the world. 

When we arrived, there are 24  very excited kids waiting for us in the center. We started with a short prayer and we asked some kids to volunteer and lead the prayer. I was truly amazed and touched by the message of the child's prayer. Goosebumps! I believe that kids are angels so I was happy listening to it. ;))

Some kids don't have slippers and proper clothes to wear.


The purpose of visiting them is not only for giving some goods but also to teach them learn English. We prepared activities that will enrich their knowledge to the extent that every kids can participate. 

Some activities includes : Common English Greetings and Expressions, action songs , animal guessing games, math games. We realized that the kids aren't only hungry for food but also education as they came up with brilliant ideas!! taddaahh :)) 

Children were very cooperative, everyone is happy and enjoying. 

Teaching him to memorize some words.

and he won!!! wohhooo

We also gave some prizes and food for lunch after we finished the activities.


Look at those S-M-I-L-E-S ===>priceless!


I'm over the moon and so proud to extend a hand and thankful to be part of this activity. Those kids truly needs some help, every children have so much potentials to offer when it comes to their skills and abilities. 

 "Children is the future of the society " 

But, how can we rely on them even they aren't given enough education or even a home? These kids don't have any food to eat and the worst, they don't have parents to guide them to the right path..Seeing these young children wandering in the streets looking for food to eat and seeking for shelter during the rainy days and a place to sleep at night made me realized how lucky I am to have the basic essential when I was their age.

 I'm happy that we somehow brightened their day,  wish to help further in the future and kodus to the volunteer team from the UK who reach out to less fortunate people in the Philippines- May the heaven bless them more! ;-))

Writing this post makes me emotional as I get older , I realized that kindness and generosity really matters as the most important way to achieve happiness, whether selflessly giving material things or physical actions such as simple gestures, hugs, smiles , laughter or sharing quality time with people do matter and I think it's one of the best medicine for the soul, making others feel good and important. It generates a powerful emotional bonds that can spread real  feelings of great joy. 

 Thank you so much for looking steemians, I was smiling from ear-to-ear after I wrote this post! What a beautiful experience! May you continue to be the light in everyone's heart. <3 <3 <3
