Our Fam Found Our Favorite Filipino Charity (Tondo, Manila)

Come along as our family takes a break from Philippine travel to volunteer in an impoverished Manila community through our new charitable partnership with Project PEARLS.

This is a different kind of episode compared to our typical adventure travel videos. It’s also one that we’re especially excited to share because it highlights a part of our family’s culture-focused DNA — and that focus spans all aspects of a culture, whether good or bad.

Even though 99% of our content focuses on the exciting and aspirational experiences that we share from our trips around the globe, the reality is that most of the places we visit exist against an often-hidden backdrop of poverty, hunger, and often, suffering. Since we started exploring the world 4 years ago, we’ve looked for opportunities to help these communities through our own financial giving, increased exposure through our episodes, and calls-to-action on our website.

ABOUT US

We’re the Lockwoods. And we’re traveling the world to experience—up close and in person—all the natural wonders and distinct cultures that our kids would otherwise be consuming only through textbooks and TV. We think it’s a better way to learn and we’re working hard to fund this little experiment in the hope that our kids will grow up wiser, kinder, and more grateful for the beauty of our diverse planet and its people.

They come to the philippines to travel, they feel loved in the philippines, they say a lot of positive things to our country and now they are helping a community in the philippines. Nothing but respect to this family.. thank you❤

This is my first time seeing a family vlogger genuinely engaged in a charity program—not like the usual foreign vloggers who visit Tondo just for the views. God bless the Lockwood Fam! I just subscribed to your channel—you truly deserve more views and subscribers!

*_Brooklyn has a strong personality but also has a sweet heart for other children. Such a wonderful young lady. Colt is a good kid too. You are raising them really well._* ❤

I met the two kids in BGC. They finish ordering their food and I had the chance to greet them. They are very polite 😊

This is exactly why many people including myself subscribe to your channels. As a Filipino American from New York, this is heartwarming. Thank you so much for helping ❤❤❤

Believe me, the best gift you can give your children is TO EXPOSE THEM IN THESE KIND OF ENVIRONMENT. It instill with them the value of empathy, a true sense of community, generosity, humility and love for others THAT THEY CAN'T LEARN IN SCHOOL.

i was lucky enough to join a community and go to a college that allowed me to visit the slums around Manila and it is where I found my PURPOSE. IT CHANGED MY LIFE FOREVER! 💙🇵🇭❤

You are the perfect and ideal people that any country would love to have. You give back and adapt to the culture, and embrace the good and bad.

[marcsayson]

Miss Universe 2018, Catriona Gray has also brought to the world stage this kind of advocacy. She has supported one of the community there and also wrote a song about the children of Young Focus in Tondo. The song is "We're in this Together". Music video is also available in YouTube

This is my second comment. I'm crying now. Thank you for having Project Pearls added to youtube's database. Sounds like such a simple thing but so many lives will be touched when more and more creators start fundraisers for them through your initial action.

I donated to project pearls during the pandemic when my favourite actress, Julia Barretto, was urging her followers to donate. I'm so glad you chose to support them
