World Vision

The Philippines is experiencing a lot of problems, such as budget deficit, oil price hike, unemployment, the list goes on... This is actually the reason why i've stopped watching the evening news. Too depressing for me! But rather than focus on what's bad, I'd like to practice looking at the glass half-full. i want this to be a "feel good" site. :)

Things may not be looking good for the Philippines now, but I hope (and pray!) that things will get better. One thing that can be done is to help others in worse situations than ours. Being a mother, i have a soft spot in my heart for kids. Which is why i've decided to link the organization "World Vision" to my blog.

Their vision statement says it best:
"Our vision for every child, life in all its fullness;
Our prayer for every heart, the will to make it so."

They work by linking sponsors (Filipino and foreign) to poor children and their families. For only Php 450.00 a month, YOU can send a child to school, give health assistance, and improve his/her quality of life, as well as that of their community. Php 450.00 is such a small amount when compared to the impact it will make in the life of the child.So be a child sponsor now! As our national hero, Jose Rizal once said, "Ang kabataan ang pag-asa ng bayan" (The youth are the hope of the nation).
