Meals at School Program Pictures

Here are some new pictures we received Thursday, January 30th, of our students at Sua Elementary School.  We love being able to provide enough food for these children so that they can focus more on their studies and be happy, and eliminate their fear of hunger.  We thank you for your support in these efforts.

Letters of Appreciation

We received sweet letters of appreciation from the students of Sua Elementary School for building them a new kitchen for the Meals at School Program.  This kitchen has helped the mothers prepare meals in a cleaner and more comfortable environment.  No longer do they have to wade in flood waters and struggle to build fires outside to cook with.  The Sua Elementary School now has a small kitchen in place where all the meals can be prepared and cooked in a more efficient manner.  From the bottom of our hearts, we thank all of our participants/donors in making this goal a reality for these children.  

New Kitchen

For almost 3 years now, this is where they cook the daily meals for the 346 pupils of Sua Elementary School.  Starting Monday, January 6th 2014, Give Children Hope, with the help of Derek and Teri Salway, has provided a new kitchen.  One where the parents can prepare comfortably the meals...free from floods during high tide and free from rainfall during the rainy season.  Thanks Give Children Hope, Derek and Teri Salway, and to the Coopers- Don Sr., Don and Cathy, and to Dr. Doug Cooper for your help.  It has already made a huge difference in these parents and children's lives.

Happy New Year from the Philippines

Dear sponsors and friends of Give Children Hope,

We hope you had a very wonderful Christmas just like we did. Despite
of the many overwhelming events that happened to our country before
Christmas, every Filipino shared the love and made every one happy.
Random acts of kindness filled that day. Some had a simple celebration
and some spent "more". Most of the private and public companies have
cancelled their Christmas parties and chosen to donated their party money
to the victims of the typhoon. Those really are loving acts of kindness.

This year will be another special one for the children and parents
of Sua Elementary School in Camarines Sur. A new kitchen will welcome
them as they open the year and go back to school on January 6, 2014.
As we have reported previously, this is a project so that the
volunteer parents will have a cleaner and a more comfortable place to
prepare the meals for the everyday feeding. They used to prepare the
food outside and they got wet in the rain and the area got flooded.

The children have been very blessed because of your continued
generosity. We see the smiles everyday and this has brought a positive
change in the lives of the children and their families. And as we end
this year, let me share with you what Lyka Agravante is thankful for;

  "Thank you for the help that Give Children Hope has been giving us.
The Meals at School Program gives us healthy bodies and we don't have
to spend money to buy food which is a great help to our parents"

From all of us here in the Philippines, we thank you for this very
blessed year that you have been given us. We are so privileged to be
the recipients of your donations to Give Children Hope.

We pray for your good health and happiness and we hope for this year
to be a very blessed one for you, your families, and to all your
endeavors.  

For the sponsored children,


Kristina Sunico-Nobles
