World Vision

In 2004, I first saw World Vision in a billboard somewhere in EDSA. From there, I never stopped searching for them. I’ve wanted to sponsor a child for the simple reason that I want to help build life of a child. Surprisingly, one day I bumped into their booth in one of the top malls in Manila and I didn’t leave without a sponsor child in hand. Whatever blessings I get, I try my best for pay it foward.

I wanted to somehow monitor the growing years of a child so I got the youngest girl in 2004 and that was Ericka Acla. She was 3 years old that time.

Meet my girl, Ericka Acla now 5 or 6 years old
The previous annual reports I got, it was her mother who used to write me letters. 3 years after, Ericka is bigger and she knows how to write already and I was almost in tears to receive a letter she personally wrote...


Heart-melting isn't it? She completed Kinder and promoted to Grade 1 this school year 2007. She wrote me that gets school supplies, tuition fees, uniforms and bag from the donation I give. *Double aaawww...* It’s always a nice feeling to know that I am able to help a person.

Everytime I receive letters and pictures from Ericka, I always show them to Xave. I’m not surprised when one day, he asked me to bring him to World Vision. Here’s his guy,

Jemarc Purol

Xave got him when he was in first grade. He is now in Grade 2 this 2007 school year. Here's the letter he wrote for Xave.

Xave and I support these children discreetly. We don’t want to be announcing, “hey, we are sponsoring blah blah blah”. Maybe you are wondering why we are now discussing this openly to public.

Because we wanted you to sponsor a child, too. To give fullness of life to every child, believing that for all the good things we do to and for a child, will bring us closer to the Kingdom of God.

What are you waiting for? Build a better world for children.
