UNICEF estimates that one billion children live in poverty -- almost every second child in the world. The Philippines can be seen as a microcosm of the problem, with children driven to the streets. One man -- a former child of the streets himself -- is trying to help.

  • This is a very sad situation. People helping these children are to be commended.

  • God Bless Joedine at ang mga bata! Maniwala Kami sa iyong mission!

  • God Bless this man. I want to be able to solve some of the problems of this world, but it seems greed has the higher power since it is linked to government systems. Please continue your work. Maybe someday we will me on a missionary work. =)

  • sadly the rich will be richer. How can children be sent to jail when people deprived them from education and rights to better life? Poor will be even poorer.

  • @logerbad19 Because your government is corrupt. Cant you figure that out yourself? Dont like it? Do something about it. The people can choose who to lead them.

  • magbigay ng taos puso, wag bigyan ang mga bata ng pera, kasi ang pera ay ugat ng kasamaan, ang pera ay instrumento ng kaaway, pagkain para sa katawang lupa at pagmamahal ang pinaka the best ibigay

  • THeir crushing poverty is a stark contrast to their condescending,holier than you attitude

  • @denkiwi44 then give them monopoly money and then tell em to eat the food - they must be starving anyways

  • @87jello i know - rooting for you kiddies!
