On the afternoon of June 3, less than 48 hours before our event, we faced a sudden and overwhelming challenge: ๐๐ข๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ฆ ๐๐ข๐๐โ ๐ ๐ข๐๐๐๐๐ก ๐ข๐๐๐ฅ๐๐๐๐ก๐๐๐๐ฆ ๐๐๐๐ ๐กโ๐๐๐ข๐โ.
This wasnโt just a missed meal for two. It meant that ๐๐ peopleโ60 children, 12 JCI facilitators, 10 youth volunteers, and 5 CCYO UPOI officers who dedicated their time to the Kidtrepreneurship Programโwere left without sustenance.
โFor a moment, the weight of the situation hit us heavily. ๐ผ๐ก ๐ค๐๐ ๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐ค๐ โ๐๐ ๐ก๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ข๐๐๐ก๐๐ฆ, ๐ข๐๐๐๐๐ก๐๐ฆ, ๐๐๐ ๐ค๐๐กโ ๐ ๐ก๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐. But instead of letting panic take over, ๐ฐ๐ ๐ฉ๐ข๐ฏ๐จ๐ญ๐๐.
As President of CCYO Urban Poor Organization Inc., my heart overflows with gratitude for our Private Benefactorsโmy close friends, batchmates, schoolmates, cousins, aunts, and kind-hearted supporters. Without a second thought, ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ ๐ฌ๐ญ๐๐ฉ๐ฉ๐๐ ๐ข๐ง๐ญ๐จ ๐ญ๐ก๐ ๐ ๐๐ฉ, sharing what you had so that we could deliver on the promise we made.
