A Unique Wedding Souvenir!
 Aileen Mallion, a Children's Hour donor based in Australia, got married to her long time boyfriend, Mike Guillermo last August 1, 2008. Instead of the traditional wedding souvenirs, the couple chose to donate to Children's Hour instead. Aside from being CH believers, the couple believes that sharing to Children's Hour is more practical and will have a more lasting impact.
Aileen and Mike are not the first couple to make such a gesture. More and more couples are donating to Children's Hour in memory of their wedding. As these couples begin their new life together, they want to celebrate by giving other needy children a new lease in life.
To make a donation to Children’s Hour Philippines, Inc., please deposit at any BPI branch: SA 2591-0024-84.
AF- USA, Children's Hour Bring Hope to 120 Filipino Youth
The successful partnership of AF-USA and Children's Hour Philippines continues to bring hope to the lives of young people. Since its team-up, at least 120 children have participated in education programs and activities apart from receiving educational assistance such as scholarships and materials for school.
St. Lawrence, a partner of Children's Hour for over two years, continues to provide tuition fee assistance, teacher's incentives, books, school supplies, learning materials, and funding for parent conferences in Quezon Province. With the outpouring support from the Fil-Ams through AF USA, over 107 students are currently benefiting from educational assistance and training on academic and social wellness. The families of the students also get to participate in education conferences so they, too can provide continuous support for the scholars. Another batch of scholarships will be given for the school year 2008-2009.
In Southern Leyte, the aftermath of the 2006 landslide left many children orphaned and unable to go back to their normal lives. The St. Bernard Educational Trust Fund was founded in September 2006 with an aim of providing educational assistance to the orphans who survived the tragedy. This year, with support from CH and AF USA, 56 orphans were given scholarships so they can complete their education until high school. The scholarship provides for the children's monthly allowances, school uniform, school supplies, medical needs and other school needs.
To date, AF-USA has supported 58 Children's Hour projects nationwide. Around 63% of the total donations were used for educational assistance while the rest was given to projects in health, nutrition, rehabilitation and psychological assistance for children in war-torn areas.
Currently, the Executive Director of Children's Hour, Teresita Villacorta is in New York for a presentation at the Philippine General-Consulate office on June 17. The presentation aims to raise funds for a project with ATIKHA Overseas Workers and Communities Initiatives that will help cater to the psychosocial needs of 2,614 children of migrant workers in Laguna and Batangas. Children of migrant workers often experience emotional and psychological problems brought about by separation from their migrant parents. This project aims to help these children grow up productively in an unusual and oftentimes difficult environment.
For more information about Children's Hour, log on to their website or visit Ayala Foundation-USA. Remember, it only takes an hour to make a difference that will last for a lifetime.
Children's Hour was represented in the Independence Day parade in New York by executive director Tess Villacorta.

 Cheers to Ayala Land, Inc. for leading the RACE TO RAISE funds for the School-based Psychosocial Program for Children of OFWs!
For Children’s Hour, the thrill of the 2008 Ayala Olympics remains. After all, we went home with a valuable prize – your donations for the children.
More than the total amount raised, we are gratified by how Ayala employees came together and raised sports to a level beyond the Olympics itself. Every peso you shared contributes to a lasting victory for the children.
To Ayala Group Employees, to all donors, to all winners and to all who were at the Ayala Olympics, CONGRATULATIONS!
