The local leaders in Loyola Heights recently organized a Youth Summit to support the newly established youth organization in the area. It’s especially meaningful to us because two of our beneficiaries from the Manila Slum Program now hold officer positions in this organization. The Summit aimed to gather the community’s youth for a day of enjoyable activities and meaningful discussions. It was a significant event designed to actively involve young people in the community.

Our Sanghaya team was invited to share about the dangers of Online Sexual Abuse and Exploitation of Children (OSAEC) and the role of the youth in preventing these dangers from happening. Their goal was to raise awareness and empower the young participants to take action against these threats. They educated the youth about recognizing warning signs, protecting themselves online, and supporting peers who might be at risk.

Trizia, our program manager, encouraged our attendees to support and uplift each other. She emphasized the importance of community and the role that every individual can play in making a positive impact. Her message was about building a supportive network among the youth to drive positive change in their community.
