"This is to appeal to you guys to help create better awareness to the plight of the children and and for those who can support, do give support and donate as we are raising donation for christmas.
* * *
Payatas, located located in the suburbs of Manila, Philippines, is called Smoking Valley. the biggest garbage dump in the Phillipines and one of the three biggest slums in the world.
Can you see tons of rubbish lying around?
I couldn't imagine myself living there, let alone children who are so much younger than me, climbing the moutains just to work and the earning of a child is not even enough to buy food. They collect materials from the dumps to sell, working daily in order to survive. In such a dump, children as young as four years old scavenge from early morning till late at night in order to help the ends meet.
And not to mention, the dangerous situation they were in. When there's bad weather condition, there's a very high possiblilty of landslides, which can crushed and buried over a hundred shacks belonging to scavenger families.
The Smoking Valley has grown to become a stark and heart-tugging reminder of the desperate conditions of humanity.
Watch the video, which highlight the situation:
Because of that, Totedaddy.com is working with Lighthouse Center For Children Foundation to bring a little cheer to the children this Christmas.
Totedaddy 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.
