Back To School

Dear Friends and Benefactors,

      Many of you have followed our mission in the Philippines closely and faithfully visited this blog to stay in touch. I have tried to keep a current blog but many times have been too busy to sit and write a colorful one with many details. This post is actually a last minute idea that got put on the back burner for way too long.   

      Back in April, a few of our friends from the community at Isla Bonita that we have been working closely with since arriving last year, came to us and asked for help for their children's school supplies. We had the idea of taking their picture and pairing them up with a benefactor to donate for their needs. April was a very busy month of travelling for us and here we are at the end of May preparing for the SSME trip that is coming to consume all of our month of June! June is the beginning of the school year here and many of the families at Isla Bonita do what they can to live on about $4 a day. The fathers try hard to provide by doing odd jobs as available. The mothers add their share by lending themselves out as wash ladies or making rugs out of old clothes. Going to school is considered a luxury for some of them as their income is just enough to buy their daily rice.

      We humbly come before you all and ask you to help these children with whatever you can. All we ask is for a one-time, $30 donation which we will put to immediate use. We will shop for the following items and post in our next blog with a Thank You note and a picture as they get ready to go Back to School! Please pray for these children and their education. You can click the link to be directed to our donation page on FMC's website to beat the JUNE 3rd deadline! Thank you and God bless and reward you all.
