College students, Juvany and Rogelio, are very pleased with the blankets they received for Christmas. They grew up under a bridge in the Philippines. At one time they dreamed of going to high school, but in the Philippines education is not free and most poor families cannot afford to send their children to school.  The families of these boys are very poor so education seemed impossible for them. Then one day, Ras Robinson paid a visit "under the bridge" to the squatter community. He told the children if they wanted to go to school, he would help them. All of a sudden, what seemed impossible was now a reality. 

Juvany and Rogelio have had to work hard to supplement the college assistance given by FCM. They are now about to finish their 3rd year of college. They want to be teachers. Both have the intelligence and ability to become leaders in education and could someday influence many. They are also active in their church, especially assisting in teaching younger children. We are proud of them and look forward to seeing what God will do with them in the future.

Sponsors made education possible. Partners provided food and nutrition. Friends gave to special needs and events like Christmas.

You can make an eternal difference in the life of a child (or a group of children) or sometimes an entire family. Consider sponsoring a child who only dreams of going to school or, if you already sponsor one or more, consider adding another.
