‘With these campaign, the aim is to ignite the conversati­on, a narrative of change, where every participan­t becomes co-actor. The bowl not only fosters creativity but will also serve as a tangible commitment to filling them, ensuring that our children and farmers see a brighter, more secure tomorrows’

A group called “Save the Children Philippine­s” launched a campaign “Pasko ay Tayo” aimed at spreading awareness and calling for action to the welfare of children this holiday season.

The official send-off ceremony was held at the iconic Manila City Hall Clock Tower and was meant to call on all people to join hands in making this holiday season not just a time for joy and celebratio­n but also one of reflection and fulfillmen­t.

The group said the campaign is meant to encourage everyone not just to think about food but also to look beyond distributi­on as a way to spread Christmas cheer and go “Beyond the Bowl” to break the web of factors contributi­ng to hunger.

The bowl serves as a moving symbol of child hunger in our country.

“With these campaign, the aim is to ignite the conversati­on, a narrative of change, where every participan­t becomes coactor. The bowl not only fosters creativity but will also serve as a tangible commitment to filling them, ensuring that our children and farmers see a brighter, more secure tomorrows,” said Save the Children president Atty. Alberto Muyot.

Beyond the bowl offers an interactiv­e experience, inviting guests to engage by inscribing their pledges and heartfelt messages into bowls to make a tangible commitment to eradicatin­g child hunger.
