Ugnayan ng Pahinungod Manila’s Painting and Tutorial Services Programs Empowering Young Minds

Artist and educator Jenny Lee Bonto leads a painting session for street children, inspiring creativity and self-expression. Formerly the Executive Director of Ballet Philippines, she now heads the Artists Welfare Project Inc.

On Mar. 22, 2025, 27 street children from Plaza Ferguzon, Port Area, and Luneta in Manila participated in a painting session led by Ugnayan ng Pahinungod Manila volunteer Jennifer Lee Bonto. 

During the session, the participants were taught the fundamentals of painting, and Bonto encouraged the children to be creative and to express themselves through their work. 

In the same month, Ugnayan ng Pahinungod Manila staff members Ma. Andrea Supremo and Amarige Alcala met with ChildHope Philippines Street Educator Edilberto Baybayan and Infinit-O Foundation Inc. (IOFI) Program Manager Dave Ang to discuss the Tutorial Services Program’s current implementation status as well as the orientation of IOFI’s new program manager. Baybayan also spoke about the children involved in the initiative.#
