OUTREACH CLIMB & F4F Project

The need for mobile outreach services was, and continues to be critical since most families in Mangyan Communities live in very rural, isolated and underserved settings. Fight4Five is a mobile outreach programme delivering school/home based health care, educational drive, peer education, social & cultural activities and environmental awareness services as well as programs that aimed to alleviate poverty and promote economic sustainability to indigent families. As Keep Hope Alive volunteers, young advocates spend time educating community people on the prevention of epidemic in communities, visit schools in geographically isolated areas to talk to school children about hygiene & nutrition. They also assist with local workshops; participate in medical missions, health & environmental awareness program and support sessions. ‪#‎KeepHopeAlive ‪#‎Fight4Five

FIGHT FOR FIVE PROJECT: Sinariri Mangyan Community

Reaching out and helping other people even in simplest ways we know give them the hope they need to survive in this kind of living.

Thank you Doc Jojo Leviste & your dedicated MHSO/RHU team for a successful medical mission, med cap & outreach program to more than 600 people of Sinariri Mangyan Community.

To all Keep Hope Alive volunteers who perspired and climbed with us, thank you for living up God's compassion of reaching out the needy and serve others selflessly. ‪#‎FightforFive ‪#‎KHAyouthvolunteers

Bulalacao Island Visit & Gift-giving

We were extremely happy with this Island visit and gift-giving activity. Clearwater beach, pristine white sand beaches, warm sunshine and it was one very special day visiting island villagers and sharing our blessings through small gifts and foods. There's also such a wonderful thing in giving, putting some love or a smile on a child, or a parent's house. Thank you Toni & Jon and the rest of "Keep Hope Alive" volunteers. ‪#‎KHA

Lukban Outreach Climb 2014

              As always, Lukban Outreach Climb wouldn't have happened without you, our amazing Keep Hope Alive youth volunteers & sponsors - thank you so so much!

              Whether you know it or not, you are one of the reasons why someone never quit. Worth it ang pagod at sakit ng katawan sa 9 hours na paglalakad sa ilog, gubat at pag-akyat sa matatarik bundok para marating ang pinakamalayong paaralan ng Mansalay. God bless you more!

              Be an inspiration & a blessing, always. #KHALukban -at Sitio Lukban, Panaytayan

Health Check-ups & Free Medicines (Outreach Program)

Many thanks to Unilab, Pharex & Natpharma for donating boxes of medicines and to our outreach partner, Bukluran Outdoor Club & KHA volunteers who spent 3 days in the mountain to provide basic medical & nursing care, health education and other valuable services to the people in Cabuyao & Kilapnit Mangyan communities.  A special thanks to Sir Greg & Nurse Myra for their outstanding commitment as well as to Bahay Kubo Foundation. Volunteers give of their time and money to walk and travel great distances to deliver assistance to people who have no other access to basic health care. On behalf of my constituents touched by this fabulous team of volunteers, we say Thank You!

I can’t even begin to write about all the different experiences I had, people I met, and how much this mission climb changed my life and my perspective on things; living in an urbanized area you really take for granted necessities like clean water, food, medicine, and even electricity.

The team transformed a local school into a triage unit, clinic, and pharmacy over the course of 2 days and saw over 200 patients.

SANDUGO sandals for Mangyan Villagers & Volunteer Teachers

It won’t cost much to give the flip flops but it will make a big difference to the lives of many Mangyan volunteer teachers, sitio leaders and villagers. We take those simple footwears for granted but they are very valuable in making life a bit more comfortable for those people! I would like to give a huge thank you to all those who volunteered to help out. We received 150 pairs of sandals from Sandugo Sandals. Big thanks Sir Greg Galicia, Myra and company. You are all amazing, thanks for the support!

Many pupils and volunteer teachers go to school barefoot because they are unable to buy something that can cost as little as $1 to $3 dollars a pair! The cost of a cup of coffee is even higher!

You might have some friends and relatives in the Philippines who can help promote this project. Please let them know. What are you waiting for? Go raid your shoe cupboard and donate your unwanted flip flops now!
