After the success of the second Auction for Action of the United Nation’s Children Fund (UNICEF) Philippines that was headed by celebrity mother Daphne Oseña-Paez, UNICEF is continuously working to raise funds that will benefit the children and mothers that in need of help because of malnutrition, and displacement because of conflict and calamity. With the Trick or Treat for UNICEF campaign, it will generate more funds that will focus on the providing children with books and school supplies, help save children from severe acute malnutrition and help provide children with emergency and family supplies in times of calamity. This will be the first time that this campaign will be implemented by UNICEF here in the Philippines and they will be involving children who loves to celebrate Halloween and encourage them to make a difference.
The campaign started last October 6 where UNICEF distributes the Trick or Treat for UNICEF orange kit where children can ask everyone that instead giving them candies and chocolates on Halloween, they can give donations to UNICEF that will benefit fellow children who are in need. The kits will be available in UNICEF booths at The Mega Atrium in SM Megamall and the Podium. Children must be accompanied by their parents or guardian to avail the free kit. For schools, companies and organizations who wanted to take part of this campaign that can visit www.unicef.ph for details or call 785-1000.
Together with the Trick or Treat for UNICEF kit they will be getting a registration form that they need to fill up and the UNICEF staff and volunteers will brief them on the campaign and when will they return the kit. Kits will be returned on November 2 to 4 in the Trick or Treat for UNICEF booths in The Mega Atrium in MegaMall and The Podium lobby.
For those who wanted to support the Trick or Treat for UNICEF campaign but doesn’t have the kit, they can send their donations through the SM Bill Payment Counter in all SM Department Stores or any Bayad Centers. If through back they deposit it at Metrobank UNCEF C/A 066-706631209-3. With this kind of process, they will be receiving a form and must fill it and send it via fax at 901.0195 or 729.4529 or email the scan copy at psfrmanila@unicef.org.
