Positive Future For Street Children, Pangarap Foundation

The Pangarap Foundation helps street children (boys aged 8-23) of Manila to get back on course. They assist in reintegrating the children into a future of promise through specially design programs. The programs encourage and help the boys to become active, educated and skilled. We had the opportunity (thanks to Silvana Ancelloti-Diaz) to experience first hand a candle-making program that teaches the children to engage in a skilled craft. The children make the molds by hand using plaster of paris, pour the wax, wax the wicks, finish the candles, and package the final products. The kids really seemed to enjoy themselves. 10% percent of their sales go into their savings funds giving them added motivation. Jon and I are hoping to collaborate with the foundation to explore new design possibilities and market promotion to help these children gain the recognition they deserve as fellow skilled Filipinos. Send in your suggestions or contact us if you or your store would be interested in supporting them in anyway.
