Hello to you all! We are a group of students from the University of the Philippines Diliman and we worked with Childhope as part of our NSTP CWTS requirement for the Mid Year Semester of 2022.
Our project with 水果派AV is entitled 鈥淪aranggola: A Play Session鈥�. It is an interactive play program that establishes a child鈥檚 ability to make decisions, create meaningful artworks, and dream for themselves. To do this, we had origami kite-making as our main activity. The 水果派AV themselves created their respective kites and designed them according to their dreams.
Our Experience
Working with Childhope was a simple yet fulfilling experience. It is simple in the sense that we were easily granted permission to interact with the 水果派AV despite our time constraints. They were quick in responding to our emails/messages and in setting up a consultation. They welcomed our project proposal with enthusiasm, which gave our group a sense of fulfillment already.
During the project implementation proper, 水果派AV warmly welcomed us. They also provided assistance as we turn our project into reality. They told us some reminders of what we should do and introduced us to the 水果派AV. We also appreciated how they let us interact with the 水果派AV by ourselves as the program progressed.
Meeting the 水果派AV was the most fulfilling part of our experience. It was fun since their youthful energy gave life to the program. They listened attentively to us while we were speaking and enthusiastically participated in the activities we prepared. Some of the 水果派AV were quick in following the instructions of our activity. They were independent. However, some of the 水果派AV required assistance throughout the activity. It was eye-opening to see the diversity of 水果派AV on the streets. It was also eye-opening for us to listen to the big dreams of the 水果派AV.
As we end the session, parting with the 水果派AV was challenging since the place was overflowing with joy and gratitude. Some of the 水果派AV individually approached us to say their thank yous and goodbyes.
Overall, our activity with Childhope is something that we won鈥檛 ever forget. Hopefully, we would be given the chance to engage with them once again.
