Kariton Klassroom ni Efren Penaflorida - The Best 3 Wheeler in the World

This is literally speaking a LEAN MEAN and GREEN MACHINE... It's Green, it has only 3 wheels, no engine, no batteries, no gasoline - but it's HUMAN BRAIN and SPIRIT POWERED.

It can run by the motivation and passion of REAL HEROES.

What you see here is one of the Kariton Klassrooms of Club 8586, Dynamic Teen Company, Inc. Where Efren Penaflorida is connected with.

Efren is CNN's Hero of the year...

To some extent, I would like to thank the villains of Efrens Hometown... like the Mayor and the other Corrupt Politicians. If it wasnt for them, no Heroes like Efren will emerge due to necessity.

The need for heroes has arised in a formerly First Class City in 1963 to a third class city in 2009. It was unimaginable to see urban poor during the 60's in this once prosperous city... But as we speak, you will still see children conducting SOLID WASTE livelihood - by collecting garbages, used plastic bottles and cartons and re-selling them to the junk or scrap dealers; they are commonly driving around with pedicabs (3 wheelers with a cargo space) going around the city or nearby towns and go home back to the city dump or slums.

If there were no villains corrupting the wealth of this City... we will not be needing heroes at all.

If you see them grabbing some publicity mileage with Efren and his club - don't be surprised... after all - they are part of the drama.

With regards to the Klassroom Kariton,

Like the old adage, if Muhammad doesnt go to the mountain, the mountain will go to Muhammad.

The Club of Efren sees this selfless effort as following the Gospel of Christ in modern times.

The poorest of the poor is ever in need, the apparent lack of school classrooms prompted the club to bring education to these needy children who would likely be ending up in a gang, child labor or prison if not dead. If Man is the product of the environment, Efren, his Mentor and the club has definitely defied the laws of Gravity.

Now - I can throw or burn my old Philosophy Books! This is indeed another one of Gods' Miracle.

Making Ordinary People or Circumstances become Extraordinary feats of Heroism...

I would like to emphasize a point here... Pinoys should be inspired with real heroes... not Gladiators or specters...

Follow the money and you will see what I mean.

Thanks Bill! Efren is just one of the many more in my country. Every help Efrens group gets is indeed used and appreciated very much by the poor children in Cavite City. Many Politicians tried to ride in the publicity, but since this club started, they never took any help from Politicians who just want to put their names with their acts or gestures of hydrocitical goodwill. I have seen this club - personally in their plight as a small group, but they have been steadfast and true in spirit.

Hi Ehnriko! I read that they have been replicated more than 50 times by diff organizations and institutions across the Phils. The duplication of the pushcart school system is happening now in diff provinces and regions. Other countries want to replicate them. Filipinos have become more aware of the need for these children to be educated, fed and taken care of. Before, they saw [a pushcart] as a symbol of poverty, but now they see a pushcart as a symbol of hope and education.

True, If these Trapos ( Traditional Politicians) are not insulted by this event... they are really among those who have eyes - yet they cannot see.
