Dynamic Team Company


Their mission to teach unschooled, labor-exploited and neglected street children is slowly being realized today. The group also conducts weekly feeding, first aid treatment of scabies and wounds, and values formation activities through their K4 Project (Kariton Klasrum, Klinik at Kantin--Classroom, Clinic, Canteen). Hygiene and first aid skills are supervised by registered midwives and professional nurses who are Dynanic Team Company Alumni.

Formed in 1997 in Cavite by Efren PeƱaflorida, its mission then was to keep the youth away from trouble and vices. He has been nominated as a CNN Hero.

Please help me assemble a box filled with pencils, pens, crayons, books, bath soap, and some over-the-counter first-aid supplies. I am willing to pick up in the East Bay area.

Many thanks!
