Filipino Kid Wins Nobel Peace Prize
By DJ Yap (Philippine Daily Inquirer)

Story from http://globalnation.inquirer.net/50668/filipino-street-kid-

13-wins-130000-peace-prize/#ixzz3WZiLnP6V

1 Thirteen-year-old Cris “Kesz” Valdez was once told he was the

source of bad luck in the family. And for a while, he started to believe it
too.

2 Beaten up by his father and neglected by his mother, the boy ran
away from home and became a street urchin, scavenging through piles of
garbage and spending his nights in an open tomb.

3 But now Valdez is the bringer of smiles to thousands of street kids

like himself as the founder of “Championing Community Children,” an
organization that gives flip-flops, toys and toothbrushes to deprived
children in his hometown of Cavite City.

4 Out of three finalists, the boy was awarded on Wednesday the
prestigious International Children’s Peace Prize at a ceremony in The
Hague, where he received a 100,000 euro (4,757,951 Philippine Pesos)
prize.

5 “My motto is, ‘we can change the world one heart at a time,’”
Valdez said in an audiovisual presentation shown at the ceremony.

6 “My message to the audience and to all children around the globe
is: Our health is our wealth! Being healthy will enable you to play, to think
clearly, to get up and go to school and love the people around you in so
many ways.”

7 The audience, composed mainly of dignitaries from all over the

world, were all enthralled by the young man’s display of unselfishness
and dedication to helping the poorest of the poor. After the acceptance
speech, the crowd gave Valdez a minute-long standing ovation.

8 The prize is presented annually by a Nobel Peace Prize laureate

to “an exceptional child, whose courageous or otherwise remarkable acts
and thoughts have made a difference in countering problems which affect
children around the world.

9 An initiative of the Dutch organization KidsRights, the Children’s

Peace Prize was launched during the 2005 Nobel Peace Laureates’
Summit by former Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev.

10 Asked about the prize money, KidsRights Foundation chair Marc

Dullaert said a committee was now to decide, together with Valdez, to
which projects it would be donated.

‘New voice for voiceless’

11 Valdez received the award from Nobel Peace Prize winner for
1984 Desmond Tutu, the South African human rights activist, who
presented him with the “Nkosi,” a unique sculpture “which shows how a
child can move the world.”

12 “You are wonderful,” Tutu told Valdez at a press conference

shortly after the ceremony held in The Hague’s historic Knight’s Hall.

13 Tutu, the patron of KidsRights and the Children’s Peace Prize,

said Kesz was a deserving and inspiring example of “a new voice for the
voiceless.”

14 On his Twitter account (@iamKesz), Valdez posted on Thursday:

“I am so honored to represent the Filipino kids and my homeland the
Philippines! Salamat po O Dios sa lahat lahat (Thank you, Lord, for
everything)!”

15 “I pray for the people who will listen to me speak. May I inspire
them to do some good for the street children in the world,” he tweeted a
day earlier.

Gifts of Hope

16 Through his organization, which he started at age 7, Valdez and

his friends visit underprivileged communities to hand out parcels called

“Gifts of Hope,” containing, among other things, slippers, toys and even
candy.

17 They teach children about hygiene, food and children’s rights. “He
even takes things a step further, by teaching children how to teach each
other. He has so far helped more than 10,000 children in his local area,”
organizers of the prize said in a statement.

18 In the Philippines, almost 250,000 children live in the streets,

subjected to abuse, violence and child labor, and many of them struggling
with health ailments, according to KidsRights.

Living in darkness

19 Valdez was in the same situation a decade ago.

20 At age 2, he was forced to scavenge at a dump. “I remember my

father beating me. I had to make money so he could buy alcohol and
drugs. He said I brought bad luck to the family,” he said in the KidsRights
video, which has also been uploaded on Youtube.

21 Valdez said he felt he was “living in darkness.”

22 At 4, he ran away from the home and began living off the streets,
sleeping in a public cemetery with other children, he recalled.

23 Then, an accident happened. While scavenging one night with

other kids, he fell into a pile of burning tires, suffering a severe injury on
his arm.

Love for the first time

24 That was when Valdez’s life turned around. For perhaps the first
time in his young life, he became the recipient of the kindness of
strangers.

25 Community worker Harnin “Bonn” Manalaysay, founder of the

Bible study and outreach group Club 8586, treated the boy’s wounds and
took the boy under his wing. Manalaysay was the mentor of another
humanitarian working for street children, CNN Hero Efren Peñaflorida.

26 “That day was probably the first day in his life when he felt loved,
accepted and cared for,” Manalaysay said of Valdez in a telephone
interview.

27 On his seventh birthday, Valdez did not want any presents for
himself.

28. “Instead, he wanted to give something to other street children,”

KidsRights said. That same year, Valdez started his own organization,
Championing Community Children.

10,000 children

29 Since its inception, the group has handed out 5,000 parcels and
helped 10,000 children, KidsRights said. It said that Valdez himself had
personally “treated over 3,000 wounds.”

30 Valdez, who studies in an open high school for other sponsored
kids and dreams of becoming a doctor, said Manalaysay had not only
treated his burns and bruises when his organization first adopted him but
had also given him love and affection.

31 “This is what I want to give to as many street children as

possible… I want children in the streets to get the same chance I had,” he
said.

D. Interactive Comprehension Questions

b) Connecting Task 2: Teacher says:
The five tasks presented by the different groups are what actually make
up communication. Now, using the five elements that we learned in the
previous task as guide, make a model/ graphic organizer that illustrates
how communication works. (Sample organizers will be shown to them as
their models to help them make their own)
*The different groups will come up with varying models, but it is certain
that there will be commonalities among the outputs.
*Possible questions:
1. Why did you come up with that model?
2. What makes your output different from the others? What makes it
similar from the others?
3. What do you think is the commonalities between the different
outputs? Explain.

F. Processing
Show the organizer below:

Teacher asks the following:

5
1. Which part of the organizer shows the sender in a communication
process?
2. Which shows the message sent from the first speaker to the other
communication participant?
3. Which shows the recipient of the message?
4. Which shows the means through which the message passes through
in order to reach the other participant?
5. Which shows the response or feedback from the second participant to
the first speaker?
6. What, then, is communication?
7. Is it possible to remove one of these elements of communication?
8. Can communication exist if one of the five is removed? Explain your
answer.
*Write the students’ responses on the board. Once done, show the slide of the
Concepts on Communication Process below:

1. The Sender is the person that sends the message. The Sender is also
called the Encoder.

2. The Message is the information the Sender wants to convey to a

Receiver.

Cenon Edsel G. Gaytos, MAIS-LI Page 6

3. The Channel is the medium through which the Message is delivered or
sent through. The common channels of communication include talking
and using tools like telephones, letters, Skype, and others.

4. The Receiver is the recipient of the Message. He or she is the

intended receiver of the Sender’s message. The Receiver is also
called the Decoder.

5. Feedback is the reaction or processing done by the receiver of the

message. This completes the process because the Feedback
guarantees that the Message was received and understood by the
intended receiver.

6. The Feedback determines the outcomes of the communication

process. The feedback might take the form of verbal and/ or non-
verbal response (to be discussed in the next lesson).

7. Communication, therefore, is the process of sharing our ideas,

thoughts, and feelings with other people. The ideas, thoughts, and
feelings must be understood by the people we are talking with, and
that this understanding is made apparent by some form of feedback
which tells us that they were able to get the intended message. When
we communicate we speak, listen, and observe.

8. Perfect Communication results when the sender/ encoder’s message

is completely understood by the intended receiver/ decoder.

9. Partial Communication occurs when the receiver does not completely

understand the message of the sender. Some ideas may have been
missed or misinterpreted by the receiver/ decoder.

10. Failed Communication results when the ideas of the sender’s message
is entirely changed or is completely/ differently understood by the
receiver/ decoder. Communication cannot exist if any of the five
elements is absent.

IV. Evaluation (Or, you can have the Creating

Activity)
Give what is asked. Write the answer only.
1. Rita is talking to her mother on the phone. Who is the speaker?
2. Miguel told her mother that their school would go on a field trip. Who is the
receiver?
3. Even though mother is far away from me, she always calls me every day. What
channel of communication is emphasized here?
4. Lito told Arman, “ Using the internet has advantages and disadvantages.” What
do we call the group of words enclosed in quotation marks?
