“Live and Help Live”

in #charity6 years ago

#We are the hands and feet on the ground. There are no overhead costs as we are already here and are already investing everything we have in the beautiful people of the Philippines.

Most every large organization you will find that a large percentage of your gifts will go to admin fees and overhead.

Many have never witnessed what people go through or their living conditions that makes up what they call “normal life”.

We have been in many schools lately and some of the poorest villages made me realize that so many children cannot make it to school, if their clothing and hygiene is such that would prohibit them from going to school.

Like I said before, we are the eyes on the ground. Each one of these photos are just a sample of people we have been able to help.

One of the greatest needs we see today is education. Helping young people have a chance at a better life. Sad to say at best a child without an education works for a couple of dollars per day. Or they become hustlers or steal. Some become prostitutes or beggars. And many times this poverty of the mind is passed down from generation to generation.

But we can “Live and Help Live”. We can make a difference in the future of a child and even impact their future generations in a positive way.

Thank you!
God bless!

I really like that phrase @daddywilliam:

  • Live & Help Live

Your father created a legacy and it looks like his legacy will continue through you as well!

My dad would pick up a hitchhiker and bring them to our home. My mom would feed them and they were given a bed to sleep in. Imagine bringer a stranger Into your home and you have three young kids.
Thanks for your comments!
