On December 7, 2024, Wiki Advocates Philippines proudly joined International Human Rights Day by organizing a community outreach event at Streat Park Pasacao. This initiative was part of our ongoing WikiForHumanRights campaign, and our goal was to bring greater awareness of fundamental human rights principles to the local community.

Volunteers from Naga City joined our local members, and together, we kicked off the event with registration starting at 3:00 PM. The afternoon unfolded with a dynamic program that blended learning and fun. We organized interactive games designed to engage participants, and of course, we had prizes to give away!

A particularly exciting part of the day was our “culinary bingo.” Participants received bingo cards that could be exchanged for delicious street food at six stalls we had rented. This was our way of offering a unique and enjoyable community dining experience.

Beyond the entertainment, our core mission was to promote a deeper understanding of essential human rights, especially among the many students who attended. To do this, our volunteers engaged in one-on-one interviews with participants. We initiated conversations to gauge their existing knowledge of human rights and to hear about their personal experiences in exercising these rights.

Through this initiative, Wiki Advocates Philippines aimed to cultivate a wider public understanding of the inherent right of every individual, regardless of their socioeconomic background, to pursue the life they choose. We, as organizers, also recognized the immense value of this event in strengthening the bonds within our community and in fostering the development of social skills among both our dedicated volunteers and the enthusiastic participants.
