As another school year opens today, only half of the child population in the country will have that chance to continue their studies. The rest, they are forced to help their parents to earn for a living for their family which is most of them belongs to the large population of families under poverty. Up to date almost 11 million Filipino children live in poverty without access to life’s basics, some of them are now orphans, while others go through childhood without the guidance and support of their parents. Instead going to school for proper education and better future, they need to work just to earn and live for the following day, sadly this is the reality that most of the children in poverty facing right now. But of course, we can make difference in our own special way.

Right now, World Vision Philippines launches Kaagapay sa Kinabukasan Project with its celebrity sponsors Julius and Tintin Babao aiming to sponsor 300 kids this school year for only P600 per month and at the same time be their second mother and father. This project doesn’t only support the kid on its financial status for education but also it encourages each supporter to become a guardian, mother or father to a kid they supporting. Through the “guardian” concept of this project, the kid will feel the sense of “belonging” in the society along with the nurturing through love, care and guidance that each supporter can give.

Be that carrier hope to the 300 children wanting to go back to school, and be their new parents and guardian bringing them to a brighter future. Sponsor a kid now, call 372-7777 or visit http://www.worldvision.org.ph/kaagapay.
