World Vision in Bohol Island Philippines
In the spirit of promoting meaningful participation of children and youth in nation building, World Vision (WV) hopes to bring out the voices of children and youth through the three simultaneous Children’s Congresses, one of which is ongoing in bohol.
“We hope to give the opportunity to young generation to learn about their rights and responsibilities,” says Maryann Zamora of the WV.
“The congress now becomes one venue where they can discuss issues affecting their well-being, and by that, we also hope we can help them call government attention through the discussion of issues affecting their well-being,” she added.
In Bohol, WV gathers around 100 as part of the 300 children from 34 provinces and 43 cities all over the country attending the simultaneously held events in Laguna and Cagayan de Oro.
Held at the Bohol Plaza from May 25 to 27, the Congress tackles, “Batang taga Visayas: Kakayahan ay linangin; Kalikasan ay pagyamanin; Talino’t galing na kaloob ng Diyos ay gamitin” and focuses on the positive change that children can contribute.
At the congress, children being most vulnerable group during disasters will also learn about climate change and will be encouraged to do their part in protecting the environment.
With delegates coming from different parts of Visayas, World Vision also hopes to unite children to build friendly relationships despite differences in ethnicity, religious beliefs, traditions and culture.
World Vision is a relief, development and advocacy organization dedicated to working with children, families and communities worldwide to reach their full potential by addressing the causes of poverty and injustice.
