Kids Ahoy's FREE online portal is dedicated to helping define what good parenting means to parents raising global Filipino children. A Filipino global child is one raised with local roots and global dreams.

In the Articles section, therefore, we are especially inviting you -- parents, teachers and kid-lovers -- to write on any experience which details the dreams, rewards and challenges of bringing up and teaching our children to be global citizens raised the Filipino way. Some topics include, but not limited to, parenting and teaching children: (1) across cultures, (2) away from home, (3) with environmental activism, (4) about faith(s) & spirituality , (5) through the creative arts, (6) through homeschooling, (7) through established educational systems and (8) with special needs. Please refer to the much more in-depth categories line-up for more ideas. As pioneers of this worthwhile endeavor, we have a unique and exciting opportunity to collaborate and form a unified "village" online and offline for Filipino families worldwide. We would appreciate your support in building a strong foundation for this online portal. We hope to "populate" it with your valuable and meaningful insights and experiences as soon as we launch. If you would like to contribute an article or articles, please email us as soon as you're able at kidsahoy@yahoo.com. Articles or entries may also be cross-posts from your other blogs as long as they are originally written by you.  All submissions are subject to final approval. Though we can't offer financial incentives for contributors at this time, you can count on the fact that we will strive to make it worthwhile for you to contribute to this project as our trailblazing partners. Thank you for your cooperation and support in advance! We will be announcing the url address at launch in the next few weeks. Feel free to forward this to your contacts who may be interested to contribute relevant articles so they too may join in this exciting e-village we are trying to build together!
