Hello everyone!
This coming August 26 will be my 30th birthday. Instead of having a party at home, I decided to spend my special day with the kids of Amancion Elementary School. I hope you'll help me make this possible. Here are the details:
What: Field Trip of Amancion Elementary School Kids to Cebu Safari and Adventure Park
When: August 26, 2023 (My 30th Birthday)
Where: Carmen, Cebu
Beneficiaries: 25 Kids and Teachers of Amancion Elementary School
Estimated Budget: Php 55,000 (1,000 HBD)

I planned for a very long time about this and it should have been my fundraising activity last April, but I backed out because I was not in the right mindset to pursue this huge undertaking. Now, I'm confident about this because all my previous fundraising activities have been successful. So far, Hive and all of you here have not failed me to achieve the set goals for the activity. As with my previous fundraisers, I'll make use of whatever amount is accumulated. Your donations, no matter how big or small, will be used prudently.
As with my previous fundraising campaigns, accounting and full transparency report will be posted after the event. In fact, I still have the remaining funds with me. From the last event where we distributed raincoats and boots to the kids, here are the remaining funds:
Excess Funds: 16.733 HBD + 139.173 HIVE + PHP 7,817.22
The amount will be included in this event. The previous event was last January and that amount would have been forgotten, but I value your trust in me and my integrity, so everything should be accounted for. Anyway, I'll provide all the links to the previous fundraising event below this post.
My Rationale
This is part of our advocacy about having "More Gratitude and Less Attitude". I am grateful that another year has been added to my life and I want to continue contributing something of positive impact to other people especially to those who need it. It has been my lifelong dream to do activities like this and I'm grateful to Hive and all you donors and benefactors for making it all possible. I'm not yet at a financial state where I can do this on my own. That's why I'm grateful to all of you for your trust.
Why Cebu Safari and Adventure Park?
I wanted to be part of a child's core memory. It doesn't matter if they will remember my name or not, but at least they will remember that someone treated them to see the lions, tigers, and giraffes. They will remember that forever. They will be excited to read their books because for once, they saw with their own eyes what was drawn and described there. They will see that the world is so much bigger and more beautiful than they can imagine.
Cebu Safari is located in Carmen, Cebu and it's just a town away from Catmon, where Amancion Elementary School is located. Logistics-wise, it's not much of a nightmare.
I have to admit that my idealistic younger self hated zoos and aquariums. My younger self would argue that it's a capitalist venture to make a profit out of the animals. Then I realized that the facility is not for me, but for those who don't have the capacity to go to the savannah. It's for those who will learn about the animals and their behaviour in their habitat. Knowing the history of Cebu Safari, I realized that it's the closest thing to the real expanse of nature where a child's imagination will be ignited.
How About the Children's Safety?
I experienced firsthand that those children are not the rowdy type. They're so experienced with the realities of life that they're mature for their age. Also, the 5 teachers (including the School Head) will join in the event. The parents already agreed with this event and they're so happy that their children will be able to experience Cebu Safari.
This is the main reason I was really anxious about this event, but I was assured by the teachers that they will be the in-charge of the children's safety. The teachers from Tabogon also expressed their enthusiasm to join me in this event, so I think there will be an adult who will supervise every single child.
How Was the Budget Estimated?
Here are the details of the budget:
I'm calling all the Cebuano Hivers to join me on my special day! But I will not be able to treat you for free. You will have to be at Cebu Safari at your own expense. I focus on the children, but you are all invited to join. Your presence will be very appreciated, but if you can't join, your donations will go a long way! 😄
I'm knocking at your hearts on behalf of the children of Amancion to donate any amount. If you can donate 40 HBD, you are already shouldering all the costs for one child. Of course, any amount will do as long as it's from the heart. Consider your donations for the children as also your gift for me on my birthday.
I hope I can gather as much support to reach the goal. If you have questions about the project, please don't hesitate to message me. You can read in my previous posts some of my successful fundraising campaigns. Again, your direct donations, upvotes, and reblogs will go a long way.
All about the previous project:

[5] Continuation of the Transparency Report: More Photos from Amancion Elementary School Christmas Party
All rewards of this post will go to the project. I will also be providing updates per week, and all the rewards of any post related to this will be included project will be included in the budget. Forgot to set @reward.app as beneficiary, but all HIVE and HBD rewards of this post will be included in the budget.
That's a great plan, man. I hope you can get enough funds. It's great that you've thought about the safety and fun of the kids. I don't have much voting power, but I'll send some Hive to make up for it. I didn't have a chance to thank you specially for your help during the earthquake, I appreciate what you did.
Just paying it forward. Although it's not really much because I'm just organizing the activity. It's the donors who should be thanked. As for calamities, I'm sure anyone who can help will help. At least that's the idealist in me.
Dude, it's not easy to organize this. I'm telling you because I've organized things myself and we all know 😂
Idealist in me also thinks same but not everyone thinks same 😅
Wow! How lucky Amancion Elementary School for having you as a great Stakeholder who has a vision and mission to support through your projects and initiatives. I am sure the teachers, kids, and the School Head are so grateful for extending your continuous support. Surely the kids will be happy to explore Cebu Safari, and I believe in the Public School, not all kids there can afford to go there so it will be the best opportunity for all of them. My salute to you! Continue being a blessing to one and all. Advance Happy Birthday, Kim! I wish you all the best in the world.
Thank you, @pinkchic! Just paying it forward.
Advance Happy Birthday sr @ybanezkim26!
Amancion Elem. School was so blessed to have you sr, the good Samaritan. I know both teachers and kids were so grateful for this act of kindness. Not all kids can have a chance to visit this amazing place but these kids from Amancion will soon experience this wonderful adventure, because of your initiative and generosity. God bless you more Sr Kim.
Thank you, ma'am @dehai! It's a lifelong dream to do something that would have a positive impact on others, especially to the kids. I hope I can do more something of this out of my own and won't be relying on donations.
Happy birthday in advance, Kim! Good luck to your plan. I can imagine the smile on the kids' faces. I love the reason behind about visiting Cebu Safari and Adventure Park!
Thank you, @anonymous02! Seeing the kid's faces made me more appreciative. It's really in line with our current motto, "More gratitude and less attitude".
You should totally get a tag list of supporters that are willing to help out.
Please tag me in more of these so I can continue to vote and support what you got going on. I really appreciate and this is super awesome other thing for you to do.
Many blessings for you too be extremely successful on this.
As much as I want to tag people, I don't want to come off as begging for donations. Some might construe it that way. If you want to be tagged, I'll tag you in the future.
Fuck yeah I want to be bugged!
And yes please make a tag list of supporters that want and ask to be included so that we can come VOTE!
Begging? Man. We have financial tools.
I'll totally be willing to help share my secrets of hive class. It's free. I've had experienced OG Blockchain friends end up doing huge things after taking it. And it's amazing for the newer users.
This is where we can invest and change the world directly...
You show the breakdowns and the costs... I'm from the USA. What you got is very detailed and achievable. As well as teaching you how to set the school.up to make investments online here so that web 3.0 supports children's education...
Let alone the rest of our life changing help to others....
Sign us up!
I'd be honored to be bigger so I can come.here and check out this positive inspirational content! Right on!
It is so beautiful that you are doing this! I hope the smiles of all those kids will give you the best birthday!
I'm sure they will. It has been a dream to do something like this on my birthday. To do it on my 30th birthday is a great coincidence.
Advance happy birthday to you my friend 🥳🎉
Will send some hive over… I have not much liquid but add when I can.
The kids will have so much fun! What a great way to celebrate your birthday this month.
(Miss your posts… hehehe 🤭)

Thank you, @callmesmile! Let's just pay it forward.
Wow! So thoughtful of you sir @ybanezkim26. If dili lang jud ko talianak I will surely join this special occasion together with my 2-year-old son. We've never been to Safari and hopefully soon. May this event be granted in Jesus' Name! God bless.

Good luck with the fundraising.. It'll be a memory that would last in children's minds.. Hope you'll be able to complete the target.. That would be exciting too for kids to see those animal creatures before their eyes.. I would love to go on a safari too if given an opportunity.. Hopefully, someday ..
Thank you for your donation, @jane1289! I'll always be grateful to you for helping me make my lifelong dream a reality.
Welcome.. I''ve been dreaming to do the same... But I never had the courage to pursue it...maybe someday when I have enough funds... Good luck
Advance Happy Birthday sir @ybanezkim26 ! 🎉God will bless you more because of your kindness and generosity. Whatever you give, God will return it to you a thousand fold.😊🤗
Thank you, ma'am @netswriting! Whatever you put out there will always come back to you. I chose to make a positive impact.
What a nice way of celebrating your birthday Kim! And hope you can manage to accumulate the total funds needed.
Thank you for your donation, @lhes! I'm sure I can accumulate the needed funds.

Thank you for your donation, @cthings! I hope to see you in person soon!
This is really such a wonderful plan @ybanezkim26. It is true that these children may forget your name but they will never forget how you treated them. It is going to be one of the experiences and stories they'll never get tired of telling in the future as this will be one of the best experiences they can have and all of that happened because of you. Have fun on your journey and keep safe for always!
I'm hoping that they will be inspired to be successful in life and pay it forward.
Advance happy birthday sir Kim @ybanezkim26 . ☺️Now I see why you're so blessed because you have your own selfless way of sharing and giving back to others thru this charity work. And, it's truly inspiring! I'll see what help I can extend for this cause sir Kim. God bless you more!
Thank you so much, @missjoycee! Sometimes I'm having this feeling that I'm just being selfish in organizing this. It's just like having people to fund my birthday goal. I just hope that the kids will be very happy.
I'm sure these people who helped raise the funds sir are glad to do so! And I bet these kids will be very happy on this day. God bless you more sir Kim and to all who extended their unselfish support to this cause!☺️
