In commemoration of November's "Children's Month", Childhope Philippines Foundation holds its annual music celebration dubbed as " MusiKalye 2018: A Showcase of Talents by Rocked/ Mobile Music School" last November 17 at Saint Vincent Hall, Adamson University, Manila.
It was the biggest music festival and biggest gathering of street children who were underwent in RockEd/ Mobile Music School sessions throughout the year.
A total of 103 street children from Childhope's area in Metro Manila performed in one stage and showcased their God-given talents in dancing, singing, and playing musical instruments. The street children shared their talents in music as gratitude for your support.
RockEd / Mobile Music School is one of the Skill Development Programs of Childhope which aims to empower street children, develop their skills, and to inspire them to build positive character and confidence.
Christian Quintana, RockEd participants, share his story why he join the program, "I joined RockEd/ Mobile Music School because I really wanted to sing. Though, there are lot of people always says that I do not know how to sing and I cannot do it.. But still our Street Educators encourge I to join RockEd where they can help me sing better".

"As their mentor, I am really impressed of their talents and I am so happy for these children because they are actually out of their comfort-zone. Apart from the talents they had shown to us, I also happy for their developments.... Specifically the confidence that they have now is so priceless" Melchor Amante, RockEd Coordinator said.
Because of MusiKalye’s success this year, our street children became more motivated to pursue their passion and hone their skills. You play an important part in their journey towards growth. Through your help, we can empower more street children and inspire them to build good character and confidence.
Your support will help us in endeavors to raise awareness on the plight of street children and ensure they are able to develop their skills, exercise their duties and responsibilities, and grow up to be caring, passionate, and motivated citizens.
