Street kids experience spirit of Christmas in Children’s Haven at Carbon police station

Before the Christmas Party at Police Station 5, the children pay their respect to the Philippine flag as they sing the Philippine National Anthem | Gerard FranciscoAnd no, he was not headed for school.Children’s Haven is a program organized by the Carbon Police Station and some private sector partners where they gather minors, who loiter at the vicinity of the Carbon Public Market .

Dodong was especially looking forward to the games that he would be playing with the other kids and the gifts that he would receive. For Dodong, who is a Grade 7 student of Abellana National High School, and was overwhelmed by the gifts he had received, said one of his Christmas wishes would be for the Children’s Haven to continue.

Llamedo, who was touched by what Dodong had gone through, decided to help him. The police chief talked to Dodong’s grandmother and convinced her to allow Dodong to continue going to school. So he decided to push through with an idea of gathering children in the Carbon Police Station and teaching them the importance of following the law and having them learn Good Manners and Right Conduct.

Police Master Sergeant Manubag, who is in charge of the Children’s Haven project, said they already completed a total of 11 sessions with the children and saw how their program had helped improve their lives.
