“I ate to educate!”
Who would have thought dining out can be as helpful as this. The 8 to Educate campaign will allow you to enjoy good food and help support the education of a street child. 8 to Educate involves 8 restaurants in Serendra and Bonifacio High Street Taguig City and Virlanie Foundation Inc. and is an awareness campaign to help promote and support education for disadvantaged children which runs now until December 31, 2009.
The 8 participating restaurants and the 8 featured dishes for the campaign:
- Arama – Set Meal
- Cav (Wine and Desert Bar) – Valhrona Chocolate Souffle Cake
- Chelsea – Mac & Cheese Kiddie Meal
- Cupcakes by Sonja
- Fu – Dimsum Platter
- Healthy Kitchen – Monsignor James Salad
- Sentro 1771 – Fried Chicken Cutlets, Catfish Adobo Flakes
- Xocolat – Organic Cacao drink & can
The above participating restaurants have committed to supporting the campaign and donating a certain percentage of their sales each time a featured menu item is ordered.
However, if you didn’t order above menu items you can still help by donating. Each participating restaurants have a donation leaflet/envelope where you can choose to donate certain amount from Php 100 – P1,000 .
You can also pledge to sponsor one Virlanie child for Php800 a month.
Just P800 per month from a sponsor will support the educational needs of an elementary student, paying for uniform, shoes, school supplies, transportation, meals and special projects. The amount varies for high school and college. Sponsors may correspond with ‘their’ child and will receive regular updates on his/her progress.

@ Zorlone sayang the campaign’s reach is at Serendra and BHS pa lang but maybe someday if the campaign is successful and more restaurants become interested, who knows the campaign will be nationwide!
This is a very noble cause Earth… I just hope they have some stores near my place, say at Trinoma? he he he. Then I wouldn’t hesitate to dine in, say once a month. 😉
