WHEN: 04/01/2023@8:00am - 04/01/2023 9:00am WHERE: Silong Tanglaw Foundation, Kaliraya Rd., Quezon City, Metro Manila
HAPI has supported the boys of Silong Tanglaw and its house guardians since the start of the pandemic in 2020. They live on a tight budget and depend greatly on the donations they receive from private donors. At the time of this delivery, the foundation experienced a serious problem when someone stole their electric meter. They suffered several days without electricity and were not able to keep any fresh food until power was restored. As of right now, the foundation houses and provides for the education of 20 boys and there are 3 house guardians who tend to their needs. The boys come from low income families who approach the foundation to take their sons in so that they have a place to live, food to eat and an opportunity to get a good education. It is important to extend help to these boys because they work very hard at school and are doing their best to break the socio-economic cycle they were born into. The foundation does its best to provide nutritious meals for the boys, but the reality is sometimes they come short on budget.
