The different faces of compassion for Marawi

Volunteers show unique and creative ways to help people in Mindanao

MANILA, Philippines -  Even as many Filipinos are busy posting their sentiments on social media, Teach Peace Build Peace Movement (TPBPM) volunteers are busy making a difference on ground through little acts of kindness.

 “We are overwhelmed with the support that our youth peace heroes are showing our brothers and sisters in Mindanao,” said TPBPM founder and executive director Rohaniza Sumndad-Usman. “Though some have nothing but creativity to share, at a time like this, anyone who wants to help can’t be stopped and an act is neither too big nor too small when we all come together,” she said.

Aiming to make every Filipino child and youth a peace builder, TPBPM continues to reach out to kids in conflict areas and educate them about the importance of peace.

“We have seen how our fellow Filipinos are more than willing to help the children in Mindanao. These creative efforts just show that there are different faces of compassion for Marawi and all we need to do is uncover them,” said Rohaniza.

To help TPBPM reach more kids, you can volunteer, donate, or share your creative ideas with them. For more information, contact Bernadette Fernandez at +639158480230 or visit www.facebook.com/teachbuildpeace or www.teachpeacebuildpeace.com.
