This is "Lucky Dave," age 8, one of our sponsored children in the Philippines. He and his sister, Biana Lou (also sponsored), live at a garbage dump where they scavenge for their needs. They are excited to be sponsored so they can go to school, but what really makes them happy is the food provided for them.
Here is a note we recently received from Lucky Dave:
My sister Biana Lou and I were so grateful to our sponsor for the foods every day. We are healthy now and no longer hungry and sleepy during classes. We hope that you will continue to help us till we succeed. Thank you my dear sponsor.
Here is a note from his sister, Biana Lou, age 11:
Thank you sponsor for the foods in the Kids Freedom Center every day. We are now healthy and we have good grades, not like before (when) we go to school even without foods to eat because my father is jobless and my mother only picks up fire woods along the sea shore to sell and buy foods. Now, we are no longer sleepy during classes because of hunger and we are not sickly any more.
Our goal is to make sure every child sponsored by FCM has a good breakfast and lunch every school day and a good healthy meal on the weekend. It is you, Sponsors, Partners and Friends, who make it possible. Consider giving a generous gift today to help feed the hungry children like Lucky Dave and Biana Lou in the Philippines.
