Auction for Action: A Unicef Fundraising Online Auction

By Heart2Heart | For kids, Giving Back | 2 Comments

Congratulations to another Filipina who does great things and makes us proud! You are amazing Daphne for putting this all together and UNICEF is a lucky benefaciary! Good luck and I am sure you will sell everything!!

“I know a lot of people recognize UNICEF’s valuable work in children’s rights, but few realize that UNICEF reliesentirely on voluntary donations to support its work on the ground. I’ve helped them educate moms all over the country on maternal health, mortality and breastfeeding. This time, I want to help UNICEF raise awareness and funds for all their other goals: providing children with health care, access to safe water and sanitation, education, and protection from violence, abuse and exploitation,” said UNICEF Special Advocate for ChildrenDaphne Oseña Paez.

For Daphne, “the response from artists has been very encouraging, to say the least. It feels incredible to be able to work with such prominent artists for a worthwhile cause. I’m a great fan of their work, but now I’m in even greater awe of their kindness and generosity. They put a lot of love and devote a lot of time into everything they create, so I know that beyond the beautiful art piece, the artists are really sharing a part of themselves with UNICEF.“

UNICEF Philippines is launching its first fundraising online auction entitled Auction for Action: A UNICEF Fundraising Online Auction to benefit children’s programs in the Philippines and worldwide

This unique online auction in partnership with Ayala Malls, Ebay.ph and Cibo brings together works of reputable artists in art, design, furniture, fashion, jewellery and photography along with exciting experiential packages.

UNICEF Country Representative Vanessa Tobin shares, “This is a first for UNICEF Philippines. Our partnership with acclaimed artists via online auction helps us engage the public in a new and interesting way. As well as raising important funds for our work, we will be able to raise awareness of important issues affecting children in the most disadvantaged communities of the Philippines and worldwide.”

ICanTri for ICanServe

By Heart2Heart | Giving Back, Sports | One Comment

From Crisann Celdran, sister of Javy

For six years I was perfectly happy being the youngest in the family. Then Javy came along – the pest! – and I think its safe to say that, through the years, we were responsible for most of the wrinkles and white hair you see on our mom and dad today. We’re older, wiser and finally up to some good and we hope you can help us out here.

I’ll let Jav explain how. Thanks in advance and feel free to pass this on.

Pretty in Pink by Tessa

By Heart2Heart | Giving Back | 5 Comments

I am rushing this feature because you have till Sunday to go to Powerplant Mall at Rockwell to bid on the beautiful Barbie dolls being auctioned off by Tessa

Remember the Christmas tree in Dusit Thani Hotel where Tessa had a Barbie Christmas tree? Then she won and gave P 100,000.00 to her favorite charity!

Previous Entry: Unity in Diversity December 22, 2010

After that, she had an idea to further auction off the barbie dolls from the tree and still raise more money to give to charity….. AGAIN!! Isn’t she amazing?

And here she is! Queen Tessa! I was telling Malou that Tessa is so funny because she bidded on many of her Barbie dolls! And Malou said, ” Ya, she can’t just give it directly, she has to have an event!” 🙂 Just to show you how our friend, Tessa, is! Always so COLORFUL and always so GIVING!!! And WE LOVE HER!! Heart2Heart truly admires the SEA QUEEN ( That’s Heart2Heart’s title for her)!

There were many Barbie dolls on display

And so nice to see so many people come to support Tessa’ project

And so many who place their bids on the dolls. I was not able to stay too long so I was able to catch only the first few bids

James Reyes and his barbie doll dressed in paper which he cut and made into a dress – one of the popular dolls

Girlie bidding for one of Rajo’s dolls

Czarina was there with her friend Sheila who bidded on Cecile Zamora’s ( Chuvaness ) doll

Tessa’s Mom, Tita Marixi, was there also to support her daughter. So sweet! and also bidded for some of the dolls

Susan Joven also bidding for her grandaughter, Chloe 🙂

Lovely sisters, Popsie and Malou bidding

There was a painting exhibit by Tessa Alindogan

and cute cakes by Red Ribbon

And there were kids all dressed up- I heard there was going to be a mother -daughter fashion show which i was not able to see anymore.

Of course Tessa’s daughter, Athena, looked so cute!!

Ernie Lopez and his twins

Super cute Chloe

And Tessa comes out of the giant cake!! 🙂

Thank you to all the sponsors who made all of this possible and also donated for a good cause!!

Futkal

By Heart2Heart | Education, Entertainment, For kids, Giving Back, Sports | 2 Comments

Last week, James, Jaime and I went to the Collective to attend Futkalicious

I asked James to bring me along and I am so glad I did!! Heart2Heart discovered another great Filipino in action!!! Peter Amores! It’s amazing what he did, what he is doing and what he is still about to do!! This guy has changed the lives of teenagers from Tondo by playing football in the streets! Since 2006 he has dedicated his time and even financial resources to Futkal.

And when I look at the boys…it makes me feel happy that someone has helped them uplift their lives for the better

[wp_youtube]hzylCAjyDh0[/wp_youtube]

Peter told me that it is not only playing football, but character formation, discipline and education. You have to be sort of certified to be a Futkalero and abide by the rules and discipline being instilled in them

[wp_youtube]PPOBFvSFUkY[/wp_youtube]

Football ( soccer ) is made available to children in exclusive schools, but what Peter is doing is he is introducing the sport to the masses and making more people enjoy the sport!

Peter himself is a good football player and at Futkal they teach soccer in a fun way – see more and watch the video:

Watch some more videos on the Futkaleros

[wp_youtube]Vsl7Jr8hUd0[/wp_youtube][wp_youtube]pLWYogfSMhc[/wp_youtube]

Peter is trying to raise money to reach their goals for 2011

We were so happy to see Dolores and Tito Paquito there that evening, apparently they are and have been sponsors for the kids for quite some time already. Thank you to them for supporting the kids!!!

Its costs only P 13.00 per day per Futkalero. Pls contact Peter if you would also like to help!!!

email him at: amores_peter@yahoo.com or contact him at: 0917-700-2455

Watch out also for the movie, Happyland, which was made around the story of the Futkal. The actors are the real life Futkals
