PROJEKT DESAP
A Photo Project on the Lives of the Families of Desaparecidos

A photograph is regarded as a powerful tool for communicating ideas in a way that a written or oral account cannot. A photograph is not hindered by language, nor does it expect its viewers to be educated or literate. The language that a photograph speaks can be understood by anybody.
It is with the acknowledgment of this power that we deemed it appropriate to use photographs as a tool for human rights advocacy. We intend to contribute to the continuing effort of sustaining and heightening public awareness and consciousness on the issue of enforced disappearances. By mounting a photo exhibit, we also intend to give a human face to the stories and struggles of the families of the disappeared (desaparecidos). We strongly believe that we can reach out to more people by telling their stories through images.
This initiative is part of a growing Artists Response against the human rights abuses of the Arroyo administration. Parallel efforts are currently being undertaken by independent and mainstream filmmakers, poets, artists and musicians. All these initiatives will culminate in a Human Rights Festival on Human Rights Day, December 10.
SURFACING, the photographers' initiative is headed by a small working group of student photographers with advice from professional photojournalists and in coordination with the Free Jonas Burgos Movement (FJBM). FJBM is a loose network of individuals seeking for the surfacing and release of Jonas Burgos, who was abducted last April, by suspected military operatives. It also speaks against human rights abuses, in particular, of other enforced disappearances of activists in the country.

The program is currently assisting 36 children ages one and a half to six years old.  The children are provided morning snacks of milk and biscuits and are fed lunch from Mondays to Fridays.  In between meals, they are taught to pray, sing, write, draw and dance.  The children are also given vitamins and undergo regular medical check-up at the Payatas Health Center.  They are de-wormed every six months.

Most of the children in the program stay on for about three to six months depending on when they are able to achieve normal body weight based on their age. 

The Sagip Bata Feeding Program accepts check, cash, milk or rice donations.  You may  send these to the John J. Carroll Institute on Church and Social Issues, 2/F Benigno Mayo Hall, Ateneo de Manila University, Loyola Heights, QC.

Cash donations may also be sent to John J. Carroll, S.J. through Bank of the Philippine Islands Account Number 3085-8066-36.

Ang Pandacan Service Center for Street Children ay isang organisasyon na naglalayong pangalagaan ang mga kabataan ng Pandacan.  Ang ilan sa mga programa nito ay:

1)      Workshops para sa mga batang edad tatlo hanging anim na taon. Sa workshops na mga ito, tinuturuan ang mga bata na magdasal, magbasa at magsulat.

2)      Livelihood programs para sa mga batang edad walo hangang labinlimang taon.  Sa programs na mga ito, tinuturuan ang mga  bata na gumawa ng mga Christmas cards at manahi ng basahan.

Tumatakbo ang Center sa pamamagitan ng samahan ng mga Kababaihan sa Pandacan.  Ang samahan na ito ay nagsisilbing nanay sa mga bata.  Sila ang nangangasiwa sa pagpapatupad ng mga workshops at livelihood programs.  Sila din ang nagsusumikap kumalap ng mga pondo upang mapanatiling bukas ang Center.

Sa Paskong ito, humihingi ang Center ng tulong sa atin upang maibenta nila ang mga Christmas cards na nagawa nila.  Ang halaga ng bawat isang Christmas card ay bente pesos (Php 20).

Kung nais niyong bumili, maari lamang na i-text o tawagan niyo ang numerong ito, 0906.492.4438.

Maligayang Pasko!

Ang Inyong SC 08

P.S.  Kung nais niyo pang makatulong sa iba pang paraan, i-text o tawagan niyo na lang din ang numerong nabanggit sa itaas.
