I have noticed several coin banks for Caritas Manila in most establishments at Farmers Plaza Cubao. I got curious, read the tin can, and look for their website. This I found out, that Caritas Manila will mark its 55th anniversary on October 11, 2008 with a fund-raising campaign dubbed “Giving Circles: 55 at 55” which aims to raise P55 million to help the urban poor. It’s a two week celebration for showcasing new programs for urban poor development.
Our family has supported the Pondong Pinoy project of Cardinal Rosales, and this again is another worthwhile project to support. Some of the programs of Caritas Manila that will be benefit the poor are education, livelihood and employment, crisis management, restorative justice and housing.
