Today I’m posting over at FH about the Philippines. Here’s an excerpt.
In Camarines Norte (“cah-mah-REEN-es NOR-tay), over half of the population lives below the poverty line. Children are vulnerable to chronic hunger. They go to school in classrooms that are bursting at the seams, sometimes with class sizes of 60 children or more. It’s common for children to drop out of school at a young age to help provide for their families.
But there’s good news. God has not forgotten the people of Camarines Norte. He has given them tremendous potential! Community leaders are eager to learn and are open to new ideas—particularly so they can improve the lives of their children. Several local churches are actively present and serving. Your church can come alongside these local churches and leaders to change the future for the community.
