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.

For those who wants more info about it,
