Graduating student Dara Mae Tuazon regularly teaches at least 30 street kids various practical and values-based lessons in her makeshift classroom along Gastambide Street in Manila.
Through this endeavor, Tuazon hopes to make a difference in her community by instilling the value of education to these kids.
“I want the kids to be able to study or graduate so when the time comes, they can use it. Education is also for them, too. It will allow them to work and overcome life’s challenges,” Tuazon mused about her passion project.
Currently taking Bachelor of Elementary Education major in Early Childhood Development, she is also the chairman of Bangketa Eskwela and Bully Life Free Advocates.
Tuazon and other people like her are highlighted in Eden’s new campaign that encourages everyone to honor the “unsung heroes” by celebrating their birthdays.
“I love how Eden’s Birthday Campaign was able to create a platform to recognize the efforts of regular people who work hard for what they believe in and who are able to impart change,” said Tuazon.
