Turning Miles into Smiles at Admiral Hotel Manila - MGallery

Admiral Hotel Manila - MGallery was the first hotel organization in Manila to launch a community-centered wellness run dedicated to supporting street children. In partnership with Child Hope Philippines, the Run for Hope initiative aims to raise funds for mobile education, provision of meals and healthcare programs. The event promotes wellness, community involvement and highlights the cultural heritage of Manila Bay. In its inaugural year, the event raised Php 170,000, and the hotel is now preparing for its second year, engaging even more hospitality and tourism partners with a goal to reach an expanded target of Php 200,000.

Child Hope Philippines delivers mobile education through its KalyEskwela program, which brings learning directly to street children via a specially equipped van. This mobile classroom travels to various areas in Metro Manila where street children live or gather. The van is equipped with educational materials, audiovisual tools and supplies, and is operated by licensed street educators who teach basic literacy, numeracy, life skills and the value of education. Lessons are tailored to the children’s needs and delivered in flexible, engaging formats suited to their unique circumstances and learning levels.
