Our Christmas MomShare project: Visions of Hope
MomShare has partnered with our good friend, former New York-based Filipina social worker, Kristinna Palomo, to establish our MomShare project for the holidays! Kristinna (Tin) just returned to Manila and is re-establishing her roots and career here in order to help NGOs and communities here who are in most need.
Our chosen beneficiary is the Visions of Hope community (CCT).
We are helping them build a new residential school for street children in Laguna. Through Tin, who is head of donor relations, a very popular US retail brand (who prefers to be unnamed but you’ll see who this generous donor is when you come to the bazaar!) donated brand new (unused) ORIGINAL clothing, around 1000 pieces and these will be available at the Mommy Mundo Bazaar to be held at the Rockwell Tent on Nov 19 and 20. 100% of sales from Tin’s booth will go to the Visions of Hope school project.
We would also like to ask for your help in fulfilling the simple wish list of the Visions of Hope children. We will be accepting donations at the Bazaar entrance or you may also send these to our Mommy Mundo office before November 30.
