Busy Hands, Full Hearts: April in Action!
April has been a full and busy one, with several Philippine holidays and ongoing preparations for next month's island ministry. Despite the packed schedule, we remain committed to delivering quality child protection training and continue reaching families and children. We always aim to empower and build a safer, more nurturing environment at each community we serve.
Here’s what we accomplished in April:
Trained 18 parents and 33 parents from two different cities in Cebu on the rights of a child and practical tips on child protection. Our training helps parents become more aware of red flags and risky situations, strengthening parent-child communication and trust.
One baranggay community was blessed with our 10-week lesson booklet “I Can Be Strong, Smart, and Safe”, where 53 children completed the program and are now equipped with tools to recognize unsafe situations, identify safe adults, and encouraged to have the confidence to speak up and seek help.
Exciting news for our Club Kinabuhi family, four (4) of our teens joined a local youth camp this April. We know that youth camps provide a safe, supportive space to build godly friendships and encourage teens to open up, heal, and find purpose. We’re celebrating a powerful moment for one participant who made the life-changing decision to follow Jesus through water baptism. What a joy to see him take a bold step of faith.
We’re grateful for the opportunities to continue sowing seeds of safety, awareness, and hope—even in the busiest of seasons. Thank you for journeying with us. Together, we are creating a brighter, safer future for the next generation.
