Hi Everyone!
I hope you had a great weekend and I am glad to be back with DJ’s World.
I plan to try and post almost everyday but there will be days that I won’t post because of preparation for school this June and other family activities. Although, I will be starting my new series called “Philippines A-Z” real soon, I would like to talk about an important opportunity for all of us to do some real good in the world.
You might have noticed that I added a new logo to the left side of DJ’s World. It is called “Plan” and it stands for a great organization that helps millions of children around the world, including in the Philippines. It is called Plan International.
Lets find out a little more about Plan and what they do:Founded over 70 years ago, Plan is one of the oldest and largest international development agencies in the world. They work in 49 developing countries across Africa, Asia and the Americas.
Plan directly supports more than 1,500,000 children and their families, and indirectly supports an estimated further 9,000,000 people who live in communities that are working with Plan.
Plan is independent, with no religious, political or governmental affiliations.
Plan’s vision is of a world in which all children realise their full potential in societies that respect people’s rights and dignity.
Plan works to achieve lasting improvements for children living in poverty in developing countries, through a process that unites people across cultures and adds meaning and value to their lives.
Plan works with children, their families, communities, organizations and local governments to implement programs at grassroots level in health, education, water and sanitation, income generation and cross-cultural communication.
They ensure that children are involved in all aspects of our programs, working with adults who have learned to value their contribution.
They protect and promote children’s rights, helping millions of children to take an active role in their own development.
Plan’s work is made possible thanks to nearly 1,100,000 people in 17 donor countries who support them by sponsoring a child. An average 80% of donations goes directly to support programs benefiting children and families.
