These letters were written by the students at Maravilla school in the Philippines. They are addressed to Don Cooper, who deals with our communication, but meant for everyone who supports our cause. The children are thriving and growing stronger every day.

A Great Report Card From a Happy/Healthy Student

You Are Making A Difference

We just received some more pictures of the Maravilla school feeding project. The warm meals served to the children are boosting their morales and causing them to look forward to learning. The gardening project is teaching the children and their parents how to produce food on their own. A HUGE thank you to all who are making this program such a success by contributing to our cause. We are already looking to expand the feeding program to other schools. We couldn't do this without your help.

The Children with Ian Horton

Once again, we thank our Australian representative, Ian Horton, for his hard work implementing the feeding program at the Maravilla school. The children really loved having him there with them.

Faces of Those You Are Helping

These children are so eager to learn and their enthusiasm grows, knowing there are people willing to help them achieve this desire.

Pictures from Nutrition Month

As you can see the children had a lot of fun learning about nutrition and the importance of eating right!

Letter of Appreciation

Dear Tito Ian and Tita Joy,

How are you there? Everyone here is missing you. We miss all the fun we had during your vacation here. I saw how the kids in our village were happy. I think most of the children here can easily recognize you every time they see you in photos... they say "tito ian and tita joy" and clap their hands. It seems they have seen a tv person but I know it is you. You can see from this how meaningful you were for us; you give us hope to be happy even though life here is simple. I feel like I am the luckiest kid because I was chosen as one of your scholars, which has been such a big help for my family. Instead of saving allowances for my schooling, my mom can spend it on her boys. They don't cry anymore because they are eat fish 5 times a week instead of dried fish and salt in water. Thank you so much tito Ian! In school I am very active with my assignments and projects. I already paid the whole years tuition fees and bought my P.E. uniform... thank you for the financial support and for helping my big brother Chris. Thank you so much kuya Ian, maybe next week I will send my first grading card so that you will see my grades in school. So, thank you again kuya Ian and give my regards to tita Joy. I always bring you to my prayers every night to take care and God bless.

Truly Yours,
Christy
