They are also looking for volunteers who wish to participate in interactive activities with the kids on this day. They also need financial donations.

My Personal Plan towards this event.
July 4th will be my Birthday. Last year, i gathered donations via my close family members and friends and celebrated my birthday with the beautiful children in this center. I was only able to cater for few children, here are some of the photos from my birthday last year.
its on this event that i got the pleasure of meeting @bellatravelph and its around the same time that i found out about steemit. T0 celebrate my birthday this year, I will be volunteering to work for the improvements of the center on July 7. I would also love to participate in contribution towards the items needed by the center. Steemit is my only source of fundraiser platform i am doing this time. Any amount towards this cause will be accounted for. Any steemians in Cebu city who would like to participate in volunteering on that day, let me know so we can coordinate together.
so far, i only have @gratefulayn willing to volunteer,i urge and encourage more people to show up to volunteer.
Target amount is Php 30,000 ($561)to purchase some of the major needs of the center.
or/and supplies for the centre
There is no amount raised so far, In this case, i would really appreciate contribution towards this cause, a simple upvote or direct SBD's contribution sent to me, please indicate on the memo as EVERLASTING HOPE
