DETAILED DESCRIPTION:

o It is also fund-raising event that was planned and implemented by the Jr. Entrepreneur class of Kids Ahoy’s Blended Learning Program.
o A Bazaar/Arts and Music Festival that showcases handmade, eco-friendly products, as well as products designed by the students and other kid merchants.
o Exhibition of the students’ artwork and musical talent.
o Exhibition of professional and amateur artists, artisans, musicians, crafters.
o Proceeds of the event will go to into the construction of toy chests full of books, toys and educational materials which will be given to four (4) N.G.O.s that deal with abused children.
OBJECTIVES
In line with Kids Ahoy’s Blended Learning PLACES Program’s Jr. Entrepreneurship class, as well as our Everyday Heroes theme for the SY 2010 – 2011, this event aims to:
o Teach children about entrepreneurship and introduce social responsibility.
o Raise funds for our young heroes’ quest – this year they will be putting together a toy chest or a play kit for underserved children, either community centers, or at shelters, around Metro Manila.
o While sponsors are welcome, we also encourage children to work on their own in raising funds, both as an academic exercise, and as way to teach important life-skills like decision-making and creative problem solving. In the process we aim to increase their self- confidence and self-worth.
o Expose the children to various professionals – artists and entrepreneurs, so as to learn and be inspired by them.
o Encourage eco-friendly practices, like recycling, upcycling, and handcrafting (as opposed to buying). This is also to raise awareness of, and appreciation for, what their care-providers do for them.
o Provide a resource and opportunity to bring together families and kids, and artisans and chefs to encourage creativity, resourcefulness, and craftsmanship.
o While the children may come in costume, we aim to provide an alternative activity to the typical Halloween celebrations.
