This has been way overdue. Like "last year" overdue. Before we left the Philippines last year, we asked for support in helping children at Isla Bonita get ready for Back to School needs. With your generous support we were able to buy ALL of the students supplies and hand it out to them. This post may be simple but we felt it would be good for y'all to see your gifts blessing these children. Also, be sure to visit the FMC website and look for the Bailey Family as they are currently in the same town of Malaybalay and starting their own Back to School fundraiser. These kids really need the help so please pray and if you feel called...donate! God bless!
Through your generous support we were able to buy pencils, ballpoint pens, rulers, notebooks, writing tablets, scissors, crayons, and other items to fill a small bag. These are only the small items. We were also able to go out and buy some backpacks, shoes, and help with the cost of fabric for uniforms. We even had a donor that gave enough to sponsor an older student to finish high school. She had lost her mother and had to move in with her elderly grandmother who didn't (and couldn't) have enough to support both of them. Thanks be to God, she was able to commute to and from school, have meals throughout the year, and graduate!!! She is now (June 2014) enrolled in college and is beginning her first semester at San Isidro College!
