Love to the children pushed me to have my 300 hours of On-the-Job Training with Childhope Philippines Foundation Inc. I got happy and excited because I’ll be interacting with the children know their stories and learn by them. When I was a kid, I was able to see children who are on the street and at the back of my mind I was thinking that there are space in our house and I want them to be with me and take good care of them. I must say that it was my dream to help them as much as I can. As this moment came, I got the chance to fulfill my dream and that is to help children on the street. I grab the opportunity to be with this foundation because aside from my dream, I know that I have lot of things to discover and see the reality of life. Childhope Philippines wants that this children has their right to education, be able to nurther their ability and make it a weapon for their sucess.
Even though this internship was so short still I was so blessed that I have given a chance to teach those children, talk, make fun and play with them and may they apply the learnings that they have gained from us. This internship molded me as a person and for being thankful and appreciates everything that comes to my life. Childhope experienced is one of the greatest things that happened to me.
