Likha's Cradle's Voice for the Voiceless

 Have you heard of VOICE FOR THE VOICELESS: JAM FOR A CAUSE? It's a concert that was meant to raise money for the unfortunate strays on the street.


How much was raised? First you gotta understand why the concert was created in the first place. I already mentioned that the concert was made to raise money for stray animals, but it was also intended for unfortunate pets.


Because all children deserve a father, but not all men deserve a child -- this also applies to pets because many “pets” are being ABUSED by their fur parents. At the moment, there are approximately 12M stray and abused animals.

12 MILLION stray animals and non-stray, but ABUSED animals in the Philippines alone!

Now that you know WHAT this concert was for, let me introduce to you Lihka’s Cradle and its founder, Megan Uyao.

Megan, when she was younger, saw the abuse of a poor stray puppy on the street by several passersby. She took the puppy under her wing. This became one of the core reasons why she started a welfare.

Lihka’s cradle is a NON-PROFIT organization that aims to hit 17 SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals) of the United Nations. It exists to raise funds and give support to stray animals who can’t speak for themselves. Here's a video for you to understand Megan's cause better:


To empower youth to advocate for these SDGs and for the welfare of these poor animals, Megan invited eight talented musicians—Sophia Grace, Ysa Yap, Zsaris, Mikhaila, and four close friends, Mishka, Gabby, Erica, and Tim (aka Stratus)—to perform in a fundraising concert. Here are some of Likha's Cradle's official photos from the event:











And here's the video on the music that night:

How to help:

The fundraising concert was ROCKING for everyone that attended. The team raised a total of Php 10,000, but YOU still have a chance to make a difference!

Likha’s Cradle is still accepting donations for the welfare of stray animals through this GCASH number: 0936 900 9695

And that's all Blogsketeers!

Just a final reminder -- if a stray animal on the street is somewhat aggressive, maybe because it's scared. Maybe all it needs is a kind, gentle family that it can go home to.

See you next time!

Code Campassion: Creative Coding with Pixel and Python to Raise Funds for Animal Welfare

 Hello there! It's been a while, hasn't it? Now, from the name of this blog, it's about the welfare of animals. Let me get straight to the point. Currently, there are more than 12 MILLION stray animals in the Philippines. Even WORSE, there are about 3,000 reports of animal abuse, and those are just the cases that WERE reported, so there could be WAY more cases.  Recently, I went to a fund raising event hosted by Megan Uyao, founder of Likha's Cradle, where this was a concern. Here is how it went: The Event The event was pixel art coding, and it was called “Creative Coding with Pixel and Python.” It was a fun event, and it started with a presentation by Megan herself and a few others whom she invited, including a Ms. Ilene Riego (who is a friend of my mom, by the way). She talked about her ADOPTED dogs and how there were a few dogs in her neighborhood that were being neglected and even abused. Honestly, I felt really bad for those dogs. The ones she adopted were from an ...

Hello Señorita! (How we adopted a cat)

Image
 Hey! My family adopted a cat a couple of months ago. Her name? Señorita. Señorita came from a nonprofit organization— AMPON ALAGA —which my mom had been following on Facebook. After a couple of interviews, we were approved for adoption. And she’s been… quite nice to have around. At first, she was confused, but she settled in fast. I soon found out how playful she was. She spent her first few days chasing toys nonstop. Pro tip: Don’t use a laser pointer! What media shows may be cool to humans, it stresses them out.) Over time, she picked up new habits—like chasing balls around the house or asking my parents to carry her to the yard where she can look at the world. She loves watching birds from the upstairs window. Since one of her favorite windows is in my room, she often wanders in in the morning. I’ve also helped with her—cleaning her with wet wipes, feeding her probiotics, playing with her, and once, removing her from my science project after she tried to eat it! My brothers are...
