A Simple Sacrifice

Ever since I came across this organization in college, Ive always wanted to be part of it. Its very simple actually, with just about PhP 600.00 a month, you get help send one child to school.

I actually made a video about it for my religion class when i was in Junior year explaining to my classmates that with just 25 Pesos a day, you can help change 1 life. During that time, it cost just as much as a popular cold tea drink almost everybody drank at least once a day.

Sadly though, I wasn't good enough to even convince myself, let alone 30 others. However, just 2 months ago, I finally did it. :)

Her name is Angelica, she's 8 and turning 9 this July. She lives in an impoverished town in Cavite. God willing nothing happens to WorldVision and me, In more or less 12 years, I will be celebrating her university graduation.

End of 2009

Highlights of 2008:

1. Graduated College
2. Passed the Board Exam (Electronics)
3. Got my first Job
   

Not bad. Not good enough though. But its a start.

These are my goals for 2009:

1. Start a new business (the one i have been planning and saving up for the past few months)
2. Acquire at least PhP 200,000 worth of income generating Assets
3. Maintain my monthly personal expenses (no doodads for me this year)
4. Generate at least PhP 300,000 pesos of Net Income by Dec 1, 2009
   

Ill share more about my new business at some other time. Id want it to be up and running first before I blog anything about it. But like i said, Ive been planning and saving up for this one for almost half a year. Its not a get-quick-rich type of business. Its actually just the usual steady, legal type of business. However, the twist is: I'm putting it up in another country.
