ANZA has chosen Childreamers Daycare Centre in Tondo, Manila, as their charity for the year.

We have pledged to help support Childreamers in all the great work they do, as they provide their 45 three to five year old students a nutritional meal, education and a safe place to come and learn.

At the end of August, more than 30 ANZA members attended our Cheers for Charity event at Manila House, where Menchie and Remy from Childreamers were our guest speakers, talking about the work they do. The event raised 31,000 PHP, which went towards their feeding programme.

ANZA has also raised money for Childreamers from our Summer Pop-Up event, our ANZAC biscuit bake sale and our Sundowners event. That money has been spent in several ways to help the charity.

We've supported them by helping them renovate their building. The money raised has enabled them to repair their leaking ceiling, repair their toilet and repaint.

We've provided 45 hygiene kits, which included toothpaste and toothbrush, soap, face towel and baby powder, all in a pouch sewn by our wonderful sunshine sewers.

And we've provided school supplies for the children aswell. 

Thank you to all for your continued support, and if you'd like to come and visit Childreamers as part of the regular visits our charities committee makes, please email charities@anzamanila.org and get more information.
