Pinoy charity organization conducts Filipino classes for Pinoy kids in UK

By Rose Eclarinal–ABS-CBN Europe News Bureau

The Philippine Centre, a Filipino charity organization based in Hounslow, West London has been conducting Filipino classes for over a decade now. 

The classes, which aim to promote and cultivate Filipino language for the benefit of the next generations of Pinoys in the United Kingdom are held in a community center in Hounslow. 

Parents chip in funds for the rent of the venue but the classes, which are held every Saturday for two hours during the school term, are free. Many of the Pinoy students attending the classes were born in the UK and consider English their mother tongue. Speaking Filipino is now a challenge for them.
