Hello my friend,
Hope this letter finds you well.
Dr. Jose Rizal once said, "The youth is the hope of our fatherland." But if our youth is not educated, what then will become of our hope?
I can never forget my mother saying this to us over and over again: "Study hard and finish school. Your father and I have no riches to pass on to you, except your education. Properties can be sold, but your education is something that will never be stolen from you." With that said, education is, and will forever be, my main advocacy in life.
The Senor Sto. Nino Home in Brgy. Taculing, Bacolod City aims to provide safe shelter to the city's abandoned, orphaned and neglected kids, ranging in age from less than a year old to about 10 years old. At any given time, there are about 30-50 kids in residence. As an NGO, the home is run by nuns and is always in need of support from kind-hearted citizens. The focus will always be basic necessities, that additional help to provide the kids with basic school supplies is always welcome.
I, therefore, am calling on your generosity to support Project: Education Care Package, and humbly asking for your help in sponsoring an Education Care Package that will provide one child the school supplies he will need at the start of the year, plus a book and a toy - all for the small amount of php500 per care package. You may sponsor as many as you want, as we aim to provide 30-50 care packages by June 15, 2013.
Please feel free to visit my blog I Care For Bacolod (http://icareforbacolod.blogspot.com), to learn more about how this initiative came to be. If and when you decide to support this initiative, please let me know so I can provide you further details as to how you can send your contributions in.
They say charity begins at home. Let's start by supporting our own, and hope that somehow, our little contribution can start them on the path to gaining an education, and help them build better lives for themselves in the future.
Sincerely Yours,
Rhea
Proud Bacolodnon
