The Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) is seeking to engage the public, via the popular microblogging site called Twitter, to help save the lives of homeless children in the streets of Metro Manila, the FutureGov reported.
According to DSWD Secretary Dinky Soliman, citizens can take part by indicating the location or name of the street, time when they found the homeless child together with other relevant details such as nearby landmarks and tagging it to DSWD’s designated Twitter account @savestreetkids .
Information submitted to the DSWD will then be relayed to the agency’s “reach-out team” for immediate action.
