Young boy shares to build toilets in tribal villages


Today's reading:

An eight-year old boy uses his singing talent to built toilets in the thirty-seven tribes in Mindanao.

John Mc Earl, while proving his way to be the next inspirational pop prince, chose to support the Kasilyas Program to benefit tribal communities like Manobos, Mamanua, Dumagat, Aetas, and other ethnic groups.

"I have seen through my visits in those areas that those communities lack toilets. It is my way of helping them have their own and at the same time educating them on its importance," the young boy said on Monday's Kapehan sa SM. Mc Earl is in the city to promote his self-titled album serving as an inspiration to many as T3 Community Foundation's Ambassador of Good Will.

A modest young boy of Paranaque, studying in Immaculate Heart of Mary College, he has been developed to become an entirely integrated person and his musical inclination made him popular in singing and dancing.

He shares his time and talent for the betterment of the community with the proceeds of his album and concert going to the Kasilyas Program of the T3 Community Foundation Inc.

The foundation is an independent non-sectarian, non-religious organization that aims to empower the people in enriching community that develops a humane, progressive and equal democratic society. (by Mai Gevara/PIA XI)
