Organization Overview
The Philippine Funds for Little Kids NOW known as the Yellow Boat of Hope Foundation started as a national movement to help children who used to swim to school in the mangrove village of Layag-Layag, Zamboanga City. The idea behind it is to pool our own individual little funds to help these children get to school safe and dry.
We are more popularly known as the Yellow Boat Project.
Initially, we thought we would just give them the yellow school boats but by now we've since move on to helping support them through provision of other school supplies, medical/dental missions to their communities, scholarships and even through livelihood programs.
Our philosophy can be shown by this quote:
"The great thing a little lamp can do which the big sun cannot do is to give light at night. It shows no one is superior by size but by purpose. If we cannot do great things, we can do small things in a great way. Little things make a big difference to God."
Description
The mission of the fund is to pool resources from all over the world to help kids in the Philippines.
Our story is about heroic kids who face daily challenges just to be able to go to school. They are our inspiration.
We believe it is our responsibility to make sure that no child is left behind.
We started out as a group on Facebook called 'Zamboanga Funds for Little Kids.' (https://www.facebook.com/home.php?sk=group_165167500182101&ap=1). This one is located in Layag-Layag, Brgy. Talon-Talon, Zamboanga City.
The establishment of the Daan Bantayan Funds for Little Kids marks our first attempt to help kids in an area in Visayas severely devastated by SUPER TYPHOON YOLANDA! Having seen the resiliency and the fighting spirit of the Daan Bantayan residents, we can say the FILIPINO SPIRIT IS INDEED TYPHOON PROOF! HOPE SAILS See More
