One of the guiding beliefs of Manly-Manado is that poverty can be overcome through education, reflection and action. The call to social action extends especially to our school children. A seed, which can bear immeasurable fruit, can be planted in a child’s mind, through a powerful connection and real example of poverty, such as Manado. This seed can grow into a lifetime of understanding and sympathy of global inequalities and the realisation that responsibility needs to be taken for our fellow citizens and neighbours.
In line with this, Manly-Manado has just launched two Primary School Action Kits, produced by local teachers in the Manly community, which can be implemented by our local primary schools for Stage 1 and Stage 3.
They are designed to give students in the Manly community an insight into how community-based volunteer organisations can work to empower and meet the physical needs of those trapped in poverty. The kits are currently being presented to several schools in our community and are great tools for children to find practical ways that they can help our friends in Manado
