Efren “Kuya Ef” Peñaflorida, a 27-year-old Filipino teacher from Cavite and a youth worker, has been recognized as one of the “2009 CNN Heroes” for his outstanding advocacy to educate Filipino out-of-school youth through “pushcart classes.”
He created Dynamic Teen Company to offer his classmates an outlet to lift up themselves and their community.
Dynamic Teen Company (DTC) is a group of concerned young people with a mission of making a small yet significant difference in other people’s lives, particularly the small children in slum areas who have no access to education, basic hygiene and sometimes, even love from their families.
