Growing up i have always been passionate or sensitive about my surroundings and the people around me. I was lucky enough to have parents who made my education a top priority. I was sent to exclusive schools and was able to benefit the proper education that i need. But i have come think that even though some of us may be living the "life" we are still living in one of the poorest countries in Asia and as i said i am sensitive to my surroundings and i can't stand it that people get hungrier and poorer everyday --- and this is where it all started, the "library" plan. I may not be able to get all of the poor people out of the street but it has always been a dream to help even in just my own little way.
These children are the next generation of our country. Can you imagine how hard it is for them to go to school? And the schools they attend to dont even have enough books for them. I was able to watch one of the documentaries about Kids here in the Philippines who are living in the mountains..imagine that they have to wake up 3 o'clock in the morning and walk for 4hours to their school... and when they get there they are already exhausted and some have to sit on the floor because they dont have enough chairs. We should think about it. They need a better future and all of us can help. Even with just one act of random kindness it can make a whole lot of difference.
We were at Calea - me, iya and karla and we were inspired by karla to start a library for the less privileged. We'll start small, probably at the town of Pontevedra. The elementary school at Pontevedra will benefit these books. I really want to make this happen and we will do whatever we can.
Iya is with the NGO Anak.. an organization who teach and fund scholarships from schools all over Bacolod. It's a step higher for her.. Karla is our everdearest SK whose got great plans for the "kabataan" hahaha. It feels good to share the same passion with your friends and you know great things can happen afterwards. For those who share the same passion with us...we are open for donations of old, used or new books. We will be conducting a book drive. Just message me and we will pick up the books at your doorstep.
**watch out for our website (its a work in progress by Spooky), Once everything is detailed and planned out totally i will keep all of you out there posted.
