“Off The Streets” Charity Fashion Show

Attention fine people of Cebu! There’s a charity fashion show that’s going to be held at The Penthouse on October 6. As Cebuano natives, I’m sure none of us are strangers to the many street kids around the city and beyond. If you had that deep helpless feeling in your heart to want to do something about it, this is a little way of doing so. 🙂

A bit of background as quoted from one of the organizers:

—
The Mobile School Foundation is a government funded organization under the Cebu City Task Force for Street Children and was established in the year 1994 seeking to grant less privileged and abandoned children a chance to have an education. Since then, the foundation has benefited 5,904 daycare children and has sent 500 students to formal education.

So basically, these children are the ones we see on the streets five times a week. This foundation goes to five different barangays to pick children up who want to learn. They’re transported via Kaoshung Bus (just 2) and one (1) Japanese donated bus that serves as their “library”. They entertain about 100-150 children a day which ousts the 2-4 teachers they only have.

This fashion show will present Cebuano personalities strutting their stuff on the runway wearing designer creations. Among the growing lists of models are the beauty queen Karla Henry and former PBB housemate Paul Jake Castillo. Entrance ticket is at PHP 300 only which includes 2 cocktails and hors d’oeuvres.

ALL proceeds will be donated to the foundation.
