Symposium on RA 11596 with the Bayanga Women Group

“An Act Prohibiting the Practice of Child Marriage and Imposing Penalties for Violations Thereof”

March 18, 2024

Bayanga Barangay Hall

Resource Speaker: Atty. Khristine Kay L. Caligin, Chief GAD Specialist of the Philippine Commission on Women Mindanao and an SI CDO active member.

“Child marriage is a human rights violation that can result in a lifetime of suffering not just for young girls but for their children as well. Girls who marry before turning 18 are less likely to remain in school and more likely to experience domestic violence and abuse. Compared to women in their 20s, they are also more likely to die due to complications in pregnancy and childbirth. If they survive pregnancy and childbirth, the likelihood of their infants to be stillborn or die in the first month of life is quite high.”

Book Donation Drive

January 10, 2023

This project aims to provide books to the school of our adopted Barangay where reading materials are lacking so they can have the opportunity to read frequently and instill the language and vocabulary skills that will lead the children to become proficient in reading.

“It is not enough to simply teach children to read; we have to give them something worth reading. Something that will stretch their imaginations – – something that will help them make sense of their own lives and encourage them to reach out toward people whose lives are quite different from their own.”
—Katherine Patterson, American writer
