Give Needing Children A Christmas

Around the world there are many areas that need help, some are wanting food, some education, most though need everything. In a community called Payatas in the Philippians they really deserve some much needed help. I was reading about their life and I have to say it’s something I could never imagine doing.

Everyday they go though a huge mountain of garbage to find things to sell for food. This is not just children but whole family’s hoping to find enough sellable items to get food for just that day. These people don’t have the opportunity to do much else, but with help from outside people maybe they can have a chance. Read though the following press release and find out how you can give a Christmas For Payatas. Also after reading though this check out the you tube video about Christmas for Payatas.

The landfill in Payatas, The Philippines, is notoriously known the world over as Smokey Mountain. For over 35 years, the smoking dump site has grown to become a stark and heart-tugging reminder of the desperate conditions of humanity.

On a daily basis, children pick through newly arrived garbage to
collect material to sell. The earnings made by one child are not enough to even buy food for the day. Hence, entire families are forced to climb the mountain each day, hoping to earn enough to feed everyone. Children as young as four years old are forced to work in this daily struggle for survival.

In response to the plight of these children, Totedaddy.com is working with Lighthouse Center For Children Foundation to bring a little cheer to the children this Christmas.

Totedaddy.com has kicked off with a cash sponsorship of USD 10,000 to enable the children to celebrate Christmas. FusionExcel International has also pitched in a USD 5,000 in cash sponsorship. The money raised
will help fund the projects already in place, and help fund additional projects aimed at providing better housing, and a means of livelihood for the Payatas community.

It is hoped that by creating better awareness to the plight of these children, more support can be garnered towards their betterment. Together we can bury poverty!
