Childhood and adolescence are critical stages in a child’s development that require parental support and guidance. Some children are fortunate to have both parents, while others are raised by a single parent, grandparents, or other guardians due to various circumstances, such as parents working away, marital separation, abuse and neglect, and many other reasons.
Unfortunately, in our country, 1 in 3 Filipino children grew up without both parents. These kids had to deal with the loss of their parents at a young age. For others, they had to cope with being abandoned for reasons they couldn’t understand until later in their lives. It’s a good thing that shelters like SOS Children’s Village welcome these young souls with open arms.
To give back to these shelters, Select VoiceCom launched a Project 15 initiative on August 24, 2023. SVC volunteers took time off work to visit the kids at SOS Children’s Village in Barangay Talamban, Cebu City. The SVC team and the children spent a wonderful day with delightful family games and storytelling sessions. In an inspiring career pep talk, volunteers guided the young adults on how they could achieve their future aspirations.
SVC also donated school supplies and essential items, such as rice, vitamins, and medicines, to ensure the well-being of the children and their SOS mothers. Before the day ended, volunteers shared lunch with the children, instilling in their little hearts the feeling of love and support of a family.
About SOS Children’s Village, A Safe Haven for the Young Ones
SOS Children’s Village is a private, non-government organization that has been a caring home to over 130 children—who have lost or are at risk of losing parental care—since 1979. Over the years, the organization has supported over 230 families. More than just a normal family environment, SOS provides these young ones with their basic needs, such as food, education, and healthcare, until they grow up, finish school, and find jobs.
The SOS shelter empowers the young ones in their care by supporting their social, intellectual, physical, personality, and spiritual development. SOS Children’s Village is committed to providing each child with a loving home and nurturing family. If you want to help SOS give these children in need a better chance in life, feel free to donate any amount from your heart. Your generous donation will go a long way!
The Heart of Project 15: A Legacy of Care and Support
This Project 15 initiative would not have been possible without Select VoiceCom’s executives and volunteers, who dedicated their time and effort to support the young souls at SOS Children’s Village. Through charity works like this, SVC hopes to build a company culture where people are eager to make the world a better place by showing love and kindness and inspiring others to do the same, even in their little ways.
