hanggang ngayon ba may openings? pwede bang part time? ano exactly ang ginagawa dun if you volunteer? Hey there. I'm one of the volunteers for Children's Hour (part-time, not salaried), but more or less cina-career ko to :D Definitely we need all the help we can get.
I have a number of projects in mind already which I'd like to really take off.
For starters, more media awareness, and of course, to be able to raise more funds. We don't actually do any hands on, direct to community work, though, if that's what you're looking for.
A brief description:
Children’s Hour is a non-stock, non-profit funding organization that helps other NGOs that cater to children.
Children’s Hour is Philippine Council for NGO Certification accredited, registered with the SEC, and a member of the International Youth Foundation.
Children’s Hour gives grants to other non-government organizations that help children.
These organizations help improve the lives of children, in the areas of education, shelter, rehabilitation, health, nutrition and medical services.
Children’s Hour has already given grants worth Php 57.8 million.
Most importantly, Children’s Hour has already funded over 90 organizations and has helped over 155,893 children.
What You Can Do
There are already a number of systems in place by which we raise funds. If you can help us spread the word about the ff, that would be great!

We're pretty much undermanned so there's a ton of work going around. Please bear with me if I can't back to you as soon as I'd like. I'll ask KD and Ada if I can open more threads here in PEx related to Children's Hour. Maybe even a stickie.
For all those interested, please send me an email at vicmanlapaz@yahoo.com and at vic@childrenshour.org.ph (sometimes this one is slow though - so send to both email adds to be sure. )
Simple things you can do to help - 1) Spread the word! if you requent bulletin boards, use signatures. (although I haven't figured out how to do this in PEx..) Put something like "Children's Hour - Every Hour is Time Well Spent.. http://www.childrenshour.org.ph" or something like that.
2. You can also put this signature file in all your outgoing emails.
3. I'm also getting a few quotes for bumper stickers. The best I've seen so far is P9/pc for 1000 pcs. This is a 3.5" x 3.5" square sticker logo of the Children's Hour which you can stick on your car (not as prestigious of the Apple logo sticker, but hey..! We have a good-looking logo ourselves :D )
It looks like this:

Of course P9 x 1,000 will cost us P9,000.. If you know of anyone who would like to donate either the stickers themselves or if you'd like to help raise P9,000 for these, hahaha, please let me know! (I also have quotations for t-shirts, caps.. if you want to help out with those too ;) )
Many more things to get done.. Anyone can drop me a line if you're interested.
THANKS!
