There is an estimated 1.5 million children that live on the streets in the Philippines. With
your help we can liberate these children from the streets with the upcoming Mac Café Formal
Dinner and Silent Auction in support of Streetlight, a Philippines based non-profit organization
that helps eradicate child poverty. Since 2006, Streetlight has been working with children living
on the streets of Tacloban, Philippines. Their goal is to give these children a loving and caring
childhood, education and regained faith in a family life.
The University of Alberta Philippine Students’ Association is working together with
volunteers and substantial benefactors to make this event possible. The money raised from this
event will be used for the development of educational and medical institutions for these street
children to help prevent the use of drugs, human trafficking, child prostitution and starvation.
With your help we can assist these children have a better future and make a difference along with
our prominent sponsors that support us for this cause.
With the assistance of kindhearted sponsors, there will be substantial items at the silent
auction including an Automotive Care Package by Mayfield Toyota, Hotel Accommodations by
