Manila (August 12, 2016) – Habitat for Humanity Philippines (Habitat) has launched its latest initiative: ‘The Plus Can Project’, alongside the organization’s celebrity Ambassador, Derek Ramsay, last August 3 at the Habitat national office.
I wasn’t really feeling well today, maybe because my body is already accustomed of sleeping in the morning. Our call time at the meeting place is at 7:30am, and it was already 7am, I’ll be late. But still, I did continue what I planned for today. Will be doing some construction work today, and help families at Bistekville 1Payatas, Quezon City though Habitat for Humanity. This would be fun!

Habitat acknowledges the power of social media for social change. In its effort to maximize social media to help reach more people with its mission, Habitat is holding its first “Social Media Circle”, a gathering of bloggers and social media enthusiasts with a heart for social change; the event is also Habitat’s way of honoring its online supporters.
Habitat hopes to inspire these people to continue supporting Habitat’s work in their own way and through their own network of influence. With the undeniable power and vast reach of social media, Habitat is excited at the prospect of engaging more volunteers, donors, and advocates through this support group.
