In celebration of this year’s Valentine’s season, non-profit, worldwide organization Called to Rescue, treated underprivileged children from different barangays in Taguig to the Love Day event at Kidzania Manila.
Love Day, organized by Called to Rescue, in partnership with communications and social agency ComCo Southeast Asia and McDonald’s Philippines, is dedicated to giving underprivileged children a memorable time in which they can be themselves—as young, playful, and carefree kids, and dream for their future. The organization is dedicated to rescuing minor children from sex trafficking, violence, and abuse.
“Children are dreamers and learners and as much as everyone wants to see children learn and enjoy at the same time, let us not forget that there are still other kids who are being abused, trafficked, and abducted,” shared Called to Rescue founder Dr. Cyndi Romine. “Between 1.2 million and 1.8 million children are being trafficked each year worldwide according to the International Labor of Organization.”
Hence Called to Rescue made its mission to help create and keep a safe environment for children. The organization aims to help protect and save every child who is a victim of abuse, violence, and human trafficking. Everyone can be a part of this cause by becoming heroes and bringing hope to children.
“We have the power to create a safe environment for kids and this is possible only if we work together. There are plenty of ways to help—you can volunteer, spread awareness about the cause, sponsor or donate to programs, and report abuses against children,” said Dr. Romine.
Called to Rescue officer-in-charge Anthony Pangilinan and celebrity advocates Donny Pangilinan, RJ dela Fuente, and Quest were present during the Love Day event at Kidzania Manila. They shared inspirational talks and performances.
Kidzania Manila is the perfect place for children to experience and role-play their dream jobs like being a fireman, cabin crew, or doctor. Kidzania Manila gives children the opportunity to explore and learn while having fun.
