Nationwide, students have been instructed to learn from home. Unfortunately, there are still many who do not have the means to continue their education.

Denise Laurel is helping these children by organizing her birthday fundraiser on kumu, proving that supporting others is still possible despite the current Covid-19 situation.

โ€œOne of the few great things in this new normal is you donโ€™t have to leave home to help.

Education is really expensive during these times so I wanted to raise funds for [students] who need it,โ€ Denise excitedly announced last week, adding that joining her are her fellow stars in a lively night of fun, music, and friendship.

โ€œI am so blessed to know such amazing people who were down to support this project,โ€ she added.

Proceeds from the live event,ย  amounting to P100,000.00, will be donated to underprivileged scholars of the Shining Light Foundation, a non-profit organization that provides financial assistance to children for their academic needs.

โ€œHopefully we raise enough to buy laptops for them and find ways to arm them for the future,โ€ said Denise, who also thanked kumu Vice President of Content KC Montero and Chief of Community James Rumohr for bringing the idea into reality, as well as the whole Kumunity for their support of the initiative.

Meanwhile, father-and-son duo Gary and Gab Valenciano reminisced with Denise, while Vina Morales and Martin Nievera applauded Deniseโ€™s efforts to share her special day with others.

Together, they encouraged users to donate and shared words of encouragement to help them through the lockdown.

Denise mused that it was a relief to get everyone together โ€“ virtually, that is โ€“ until after the pandemic passes: โ€œI would like to see you all in person, but this mini-reunion would do for now.
