Hello my brother and I are doing our exhibition project about poverty. My brother and I come from the Philippines and the Philippines is not a very rich country. We care about our country a lot and during this time of COVID we really want to help. Right now a lot of people in the Philippines are struggling since they lost their jobs or now they can't get hired and are not able to make money for the day. They can't support themselves or their family, that's why the community pantry started, (read more about it in the attached pictures). Our plan is to raise money and donate it to Kiri Dalena, who started one community pantry in her village. She is also a visual artist and a human rights activist. We are donating to her so she can buy more food for the pantry to give to the community and because they are planting new crops, she might also be able to buy new seedlings and materials. And finally, the reason why we are telling you about this is because we can't raise all the money on our own, we need YOUR help! Let's work together as a community to help each other. To understand more, please read the attached pictures and watch the video. Thank you! :)

Hi, this is Tomoharu and Miles in Grade 5. We are working on the PYPX, focusing our topic on poverty. We are interested in poverty because we care about the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). We are selling a bag that comes in two options of a red or a blue bag and each of them is 1500JPY. We would appreciate your support in purchasing a bag because when we get the money we will donate it to UNICEF so they can help children in poverty. We want to get 16,000 JPY or more. It is 16,000 JPY because that is the minimum amount that will allow us to buy both the Vaccine Special Set and Nutritional Diet. The vaccine prevents children in poverty from getting viruses for example, Covid-19 and the Nutritional diet lets the children eat so they would not starve. (more is also explained in the poster.)
Please order here by August 20th 23:59 to buy this product.
Thank you for taking the time and we really appreciate your support!
Sincerely,
Tomoharu and Miles
Message from Ms Keira E
I am working on a school PYPx project about homelessness in Japan. I first became interested in this topic, when I helped cook Adobo for a soup kitchen for the hungry and homeless (attached are some photos of me at a soup kitchen). I have learned that the number of homeless people worldwide, including Kobe, Japan, is on the rise because of Covid-19. Having no home puts people especially at risk, because they are not able to receive basic services like vaccination cards. Seeing all this, I wanted to take action. To be a magnet for good. I am planning to raise awareness while raising funds for a soup kitchen, benefiting the homeless. My goal is to make ¥25,000 by June 1st, to fund one soup kitchen meal that feeds around 100 homeless people.
The thing is, I can't reach that goal without your help! I'm donating my time to create custom Keira-Art using a photo of your choice. The custom art can be added to a magnet, mug, keychain, printed in a frame, or you can even have it as a digital photo for your social media! Please see the flyers below for details. If you prefer to simply donate cash and help me reach my goal, you can do so with Fund-A-Need! Thank you for your support and for spreading the word!
