Quezon City – International humanitarian organization World
Vision introduced its new child sponsorship campaign in a press launch last
August 22, 2017. Entitled “2,000 Children in 1,000 Hours,” the new campaign
stresses the urgency of World Vision’s cause by posing a challenge to everyone
who supports child advocacy; that is, to help World Vision secure a better future
for 2,000 children within 1,000 hours.
The organization also launched “Sama-Sama,” a
music video, to help raise awareness about World Vision and its activities.
Among the artists featured in the video are World Vision Ambassadors, Advocates
and Sponsors Ogie Alcasid, Tippy Dos Santos, Bianca Umali, Christian Bautista,
Jed Madela, Sam Concepcion, Richard Supat, Christian Perkins, Jesse Perkins and
Gloc-9.
Tippy Dos Santos and fellow World Vision
Ambassadors Jasmine Curtis-Smith and Joyce Pring were present during the launch
to show their support for the new campaign.
World Vision National Ambassador Tippy Dos Santos
has been supporting World Vision projects and doing volunteer work since 2010. “It’s
been said time and again that children are our future, and it still rings true.
Children can grow up to make a huge difference in the world if they are brought
up in ideal circumstances. We encourage everyone to sponsor a child if they
can. You can help us bring hope to a child’s future by donating just PHP 25 a
day,” said Tippy.
“What World Vision is offering now is the chance
to change children’s lives,” shared Joyce Pring. Joyce joined World Vision this
year as Ambassador for Child Sponsorship and recently celebrated her birthday
with sponsored children from Navotas. “A lot of children feel like education is
a luxury they cannot afford. Organizations like World Vision are a symbol of
hope to these children because they show that social and economical
disadvantages do not define a person. That given access to the right
opportunities, they can rise up and help themselves and the communities they
are a part of,” said Joyce.
Jasmine Curtis-Smith has been National Ambassador
for the organization since 2013 and is currently sponsoring three children
through World Vision. “As a sponsor, I have been receiving emails and progress reports
from World Vision about my sponsored kids and their communities. It’s really
great to see the changes in these children’s lives and to know the programs they’re
engaged in. Through these reports, you get to see how World Vision does not
only help these children by providing access to education and basic needs, but
also by integrating values formation and community involvement in their
activities,” she shared.
“We are all truly grateful to everyone who showed
their support for this campaign; the musicians and ambassadors who gave their
time and talent for the cause, and everyone who attended this launch,” shared
World Vision Resource Development Director Jun Godornes. “The most vulnerable
communities do not have the luxury of time on their side. Our main goal for
2,000 Children in 1,000 Hours is to equip these communities with the right
tools to build a better life for themselves and their children. By signing up
to donate PHP 25 a day, you can help us achieve this goal” said Godornes.
