But why not try sponsoring a child? With World Vision, you can! For as low as P450/month, you can bring a child to school!
Education means so much to me. I also had my own struggles when I was studying. Now that I earned my license, (as RN) I think it's about time to return the favor.
I'm already sponsoring Jolina, a preschooler from Mindanao. They gave me her profile and after I read it, I know I'm into something wonderful. She wrote me her first letter thanking me for lending her a helping hand. And right then and there, I cried. Not because of pity, but because it made me realize how blessed I am. Young as she was, she already has an idea of her family's situation but she was still happy and proud.
I'm learning a lot from her, from this experience. It has changed me in so many ways, I become more selfless, more giving. I just can't describe the feeling. I never imagined that that amount of money will aid someone with his/her schooling. It means so much to these people that someone is willing to help them. It's fulfilling and you really can get your money's worth.. And so much more!
I live by Mother Teresa's words. A woman who has been a model of simplicity, piety and charity.
" A sacrifice to be real must cost, must hurt, must empty ourselves. The fruit of silence is prayer, the fruit of prayer is faith, the fruit of faith is love, the fruit of love is service, the fruit of service is peace."
