Save the Children helps kids this pandemic
Humanitarian workers have their own lives and families. As they brave the threat of the virus and other challenges in order to give aid to those in need, their hearts break as they bid goodbye to their families and march off to work.
Save the Children staff and volunteers have been working tirelessly in Metro Manila, Visayas, and in conflict-affected areas of Mindanao to distribute hygiene kits, food packs, water, hygiene sanitation kits, as well as other essential services. Atty. Alberto Muyot, Chief Executive Officer of Save the Children Philippines, said that the work put in by their staff and community volunteers have been pivotal in ensuring the health, safety, and education of children during the time of the pandemic.
Jebb and the rest of the members of Save the Children have even inspired Samarudin Samsudin, a 21-year-old volunteer of the Child Peace Movement Council to conduct educational aid in the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao .
