Friends of ECPAT Presents… Puso Para sa Bata (Heart for Children)

End Child Prostitution, Pornography and Trafficking of Children for Sexual Purposes (ECPAT Philippines) is conducting an awareness raising event and Art Auction. All the profits raised from the event will be directed to the programs that support the children and young people that reside in the ECPAT Home. The ECPAT Home is a Temporary Shelter for up to 30 child survivors of commercial sexual exploitation. The ECPAT Home provides basic needs, educational assistance, legal assistance, case-management and psycho-social support by qualified social workers.

Since its establishment, ECPAT Philippines has been a leading child protection organisation. ECPAT Philippines is part of a gobal network of individuals and organisations that aim to cease the commercial sexual exploitation of children in travel and tourism and strengthen child protection.

The Artists

20 Amazing Artists that have donated there works for the Silent Auction. We will reveal the big names and pictures of the works very soon.

A Silent Auction is often used in charity events, with many items auctioned simultaneously and “closed” at a finish time (10pm). The auction is “silent” in that there is no auctioneer selling individual items, the bidders write their bids on a bidding sheet left near the item. The bid sheets will have a fixed starting amount, predetermined bid increments, and a “guaranteed bid” amount which works the same as a “buy now” amount. The highest bidder pays the price he or she submitted.
