Efren Penaflorida Jr. has been working with Filipino children since he was in school. I choose him because I had the pleasure of meeting him at and talking with him. He was elected CNN hero of the year, which of course was an honour for him, and a demonstration of how much his work matters.
What he started was a novel attempt to educate the Filipino children. Schools here are difficult to set up, and time using, so what he did was get all the educational materials you'd find in a classroom and place it on a trolley. He then took this out to the dumps and other areas where children have no money and no access to schools, and attracts them with food. This movement expanded, and now every saturday multiple trolleys are sent out.
Efren Penaflorida has his own facebook page, run through his organisation. This is his outreach to people who have the ability to help, through donation or by volenteering on his teaching missions!
