How far can your Php 600.00 go? Can you make it count?

Cebu, Philippines — From Cebu, it’s just enough for a one-way fare to Tagbilaran, Bohol via fastcraft. It’s a back and forth fare from the City proper to Santander, Cebu. I’m not pretty sure if it can cover your meal for a day. Three cups of your favorite latte at a Starbucks coffee shop, and sometimes it’s just a back massage for a couple in a premier spa. This is how far your Php 600.00 can go. But believe me, there is a more worthwhile invesment that you can do with this amount per month. You can HELP A CHILD have a brighter future through WORLD VISION.

I dropped by Ayala Center Cebu to treat my favorite pamangkin to  a fast food chain when we passed by WORLD VISION booth. The staff was polite to hand us a flyer.

“Sir, sponsor a child”, the lovely staff told us.

I just realized that a week ago, members of the Cebu Blogger’s Society were invited in a small launching of their program dubbed “Apila Ko!”

For more than 5 decades, World Vision has been helping Children and their communities fulfill their dreams by providing them resources and the much needed hope. To live well and improve their lives is World Vision’s Sponsor a Child Today campaign’s ultimate goal.

CHILD SPONSORSHIP is a way for you to make a real and lasting difference in the life of a precious boy or girl in need.  Your regular contribution will be pooled together with other World Vision resources so that children,families and communities may be provided with the following:

  • Access to education, good health and nutrition
  • values formation
  • Child rights protection
  • Children participation in decision-making
  • Skills and leadership training, [and]
  • sustainable community development projects

I, myself, has been involved in so many community-based activities and I can attest that there is no other ideal way to raise a responsible and productive Filipino citizenry but by hollistic upbringing of a child.

With your Php 600.00 a month, you will be like World-Class Performer and Tony Awards Winner Lea Salonga or 2009 CNN Hero Efren Peñaflorida, who had inspired  children like Angeo to dream again and make it come true.
