News from the Philippines

We received a letter from Kristina Sunico our Manilla director
"Flood is always a part of the rainy season here, it would enter the house, it would wet things inside the house, and it would be knee high , those are just normal things...but this time is a very different one. No one thought of how extreme the situation would be. The flood came up in just a matter of minutes. up to the neck until it covered the whole bungalo....to the roof and eventually covering the entire village. This description is no exaggeration. We witnessed it all with our own eyes. People screaming babies crying, cars and appliances are floating and flying like toys ...trees smashing it was like what we see in the movies. It has been really devestating. But there are many things we are thankfull for. We are greatful that we are alive. There is alot of damage to our homes but those things dont matter when we have our lives and families. The sponsored children of Give Children Hope are in a better condition. Our testimony of Gods love and faith in His power was so much strengthened ....in spite of the devestation ..there are many reasons to smile. Kristina Sunico

Mary Jane Paza a sponsored child in the Camarines Sur Area writes: We children in the Philippines are so much grateful for the benefits we received for being member of this wonderful program. I am now in my last year of high school. I study hard to have a good future. The food we eat, the expenses at school and other matters pertaining to our way of life...it helps alot in the financial burden of our parents. Again my thanks and i will always pray for the best you have in life...God bless you all!!!!

A MESSAGE OF THANKS

As a young Filipina girl, life has been very difficult for me and my family. Then when we were on the edge of despair, I rejoiced that I was chosen as a sponsor child with Give Children Hope.
The child sponsorship blessed my life. I had good food to eat and funds to attend and complete school. It gave me hope that someone cared.
Thanks to my caring sponsors, I have been fortunate to receive a good education, knowing both Tagolog, our official Filipino language, and the English language almost equally well.
Ive been so blessed that now I help with this urgent message to you to help sponsor a child. I also write monthly letters for the Give Children Hope sponsored children. Every sponsor receives a new email from me every month. These letters give you news that link you to your sponsorded girl or boy.
I was fortunate to have sponsors who cared and loved me. But there are many hundreds of children I know within a mile of where I live here in Manila who are suffering from hunger and lack of funds to attend school.
Should you or someone you know like to sponsor a child send Give Children Hope your name and address to us.....e mail us at givechildrenhope.org Kristina Sunico
