My whole Sunday was
spent on searching for the right one. I had opened more than thirty websites to
search for organizations which I may consider to be the best for the group.
One of the criteria which
I inclined to look for is the location. Since all of us in the group have work commitments,
we preferred at least an organization that would not consume a lot for the travel
time. The second factor which I well thought out is the enforceability of the
organization towards their objective and the level of commitment of the people on
their organization’s mission.
The top three among the
organizations which I was able to search are The Academy of Hope, CRIBS Foundation Inc. and PREDA Foundation.
The Academy of Hope is
located in Cabuyao, Laguna. They rehabilitate individuals who are victims of
drug abused and people who are experiencing depression and anxiety. They also
facilitate individuals with mental disorders due to tragic circumstances that
happened in their lives. I have also found out that the Academy of Hope is tie
up with a known private organization.
CRIBS Foundation Inc. has
different objective. This organization is into child caring. They support
homeless children to find foster parents who can provide them special care. It
is located in Marikina. Some private organizations coordinate with CRIBS Foundation Inc. on their Corporate Social Responsibility.
Lastly is the PREDA Foundation which is located in Olonggapo city. Mr. Shay Cullen, the Founder, is actively raising campaign against human trafficking. The organization
rehabilitates young individuals who experience drug abused, maltreatment/
physical abused and women who have been into prostitution. Most of their programs and articles are posted on their website. This organization is
actually my preference. However, the location is just bad for our schedules due
to travel time.
At this moment our
group is still deciding in which organization we will spend our 6 hours service learning
activity.
