Someone told me about a new social network site for students in the UK. Take a look: http://www.studentuk.com

I've added it to our Student Resources section. If you find it useful, add your comments below.

Kulay Pinoy, a new production outfit, is launching its first production entitled "Kasayahan!" on the 10th of May 2009. "Kasayahan!" is a concert featuring Filipino and British performers singing Filipino songs and excerpts from west-end and broadway musicals.

The Kulay Pinoy project started amongst a group of friends who have decided to set up a production company with the aim to showcase our cultural background and artistic talents. The Philippines has long produced world-class performers in the fields of theatre, dance and popular music worldwide. Pilita Corrales and Lea Salonga, amongst others, have become the blueprints to this legacy and many others are to follow.

Kim Blasco, from the Filipino Children’s Fund, dropped us a note to ask that we post some information about the group. We don't know about them but Kim says they have applied for registration with the Charity Commission and are recognised by the Philippine Embassy in London.

"Created in September 2007, the Filipino Children’s Fund (UK) is a Charitable Organisation, which has applied for registration with the Charity Commission and is recognised by the Philippines Embassy in London.

Our objectives are very specific:
• To make sure that every destitute child in 14 villages in the provinces of Laguna, Cavite, Batangas and Quezon has all he/she needs to attend school and to benefit from his/her attendance. These children need clothing, uniforms, footwear, school materials, books, etc., so that, despite their difficult beginnings in life, they can develop their innate capabilities.
