Circus shows in Iloilo and Manila
Two extraordinay circus shows were held by our Cirquera “Breakthrough: Unfolding Stories of Hope and Transformation” on December 16-17 at Makati-Ayala Triangle to celebrate 75 years of diplomatic relations between France and the Philippines and the 25th anniversary of CAMELEON Association. This show aims to showcase the transformative power of Cirquera de Cameleon and the rehabilitation efforts of Cameleon Association for girls who survived sexual abuse. Event organized in partnership with ENACR (Ecole Nationale des Arts du Cirque de Rosny-sous-Bois), Les Grandes Personnes, and the Embassy of France in the Philippines & to Micronesia with the support of the Ministry of European and Foreign Affairs.

Together with the Cirquera de CAMELEON and Voice of CAMELEON's Children, the CAMELEON Youth Health Advocates initiated the first social circus in Agdayao, Passi City last February 25.
The CYHA and VCC conducted lectures in the first part of the program. CYHA talked about Sexual Intimacies, Dating and the Consequences of Teenage Pregnancy to their fellow youth. These topics were essential since it was reported that the cases of teenage pregnancy in Agdayao increased these previous months.
The children and teenagers were then taught basic circus tricks by the CDC. They had fun testing their balance, flexibility and focus from the activities that Cirquera de CAMELEON prepared for them.
CAMELEON Youth Health Advocates continues its endeavors in combating cases of teenage pregnancy and raising awareness about reproductive health.
Recognition awards for our youth advocates
The CAMELEON Youth Advocates (CYHA) attended the LYDC Passi Courtesy Call with Passi City Mayor and Year-end Meeting, January 5, 2023. Our Youth advocates, the VCC and CYHA, were recognized for their achievements as Outstanding Volunteers in showing an exemplary performance as youth organizations in promoting Child Sexual Abuse Prevention, Mental Health and Adolescent Reproductive Health Awareness, and Teenage Pregnancy Prevention.
Raising-awareness activities
The CAMELEON Youth Advocates had their first school advocacy lecture in partnership with Red Cross Youth at Iloilo City National High School in Molo, Iloilo City. The Cameleon Youth Health Advocates (CYHA) caught the attention of the students when they talked about Dating, contraception, the demonstration of condoms, etc. Meanwhile, the Voice of Cameleon’s Children has given a chance to share about personal safety through a short but fun and informative activity participated by the active students of ICNHS. Indeed, it was a great and meaningful day where a lot of students learned most especially how to protect and secure themselves in life-threatening situations like abuse, violence and teenage pregnancy.
Together with the Voice of CAMELEON's Children, they participated in the Usap Tayo: Youth Leadership Program, where they were able to impart their mission through topics such as the reproductive health, dating do's and don'ts and sexual intimacies, teenage pregnancy awareness as well as STI, STDs and contraception. The advocates had fun exchanging ideas with their fellow youths.
