Jaderune Pen Pals

I came across with this post in Facebook and I really feel pity for what had happened to them. So, if any of you guys have any extra, you can help them to start with their own life.

Chay Chay .. I give to the Church which helps feed the people . I will Never send Money again after finding out that the Money I gave for the Hurricane people in the Philippines may not have made it Their .. I will give Money to those feeding the people . But I will not give Money to anyone else . Sadly a lot Of People are Making a Living Asking people for money .. I call it begging for money .. 1 Guy In Sacramento California was found to have made an Average of over 40 thousand dollars a year for the Last 4 years .

We give money to church too. We continually support the feeding program for kids. And lately, me and that lady in that church in Philippines I used to go had an idea of putting up a library for kids to read. I think it is a good idea since most kids in Philippines are not expose to books. I kinda not agreeing of giving away books but just borrowing so others may enjoy it too. I am thankful to God that feeding program helped gather some lost souls and it increases members of daughter churches.

I try to give the same amount to my church each week. It does not add up to 10%, but I do give money to different individuals, and that is way over 10%, so I try to do my share. I rarely give to some established charity such as the Red Cross because they pay their CEO's enormous salaries, and too much skimming as well.

That is very kind of you red to do charity works. Yeah, I definitely agree that library would be a good project since most kids have no access to internet or other reading materials. Just have them borrow books and not give it to them, so if there are many donations, more and more books will compiled in your upcoming library. Unlike if you guys give books and there are no donations coming in, time will come that the library will be empty. Good luck on your endeavor.

That is a good idea not to give money to Red Cross and other charity organizations coz I read lots about them having an enormous amount of money earned annually for their business with no capital at all. And to think that they pay their employees below minimum wage, that is very disgusting.

I understand your point. Yeah, it is so depressing to know that most of the donations to the Yolanda victims will not be received by the people who needs it most. Instead, our corrupt and greedy politicians who only thinks for themselves are the ones who are benefiting from such donations. It is a sad reality.

Thanks Chay. We don't ask donations from others though it is from our pocket. Books that my girls don't use anymore we give them away and we buy used books from library here and few stores that sells used books. I am amazed that library here sells set of encyclopedias for 3 to 4$ and etc. I think it is a big help just collecting little by little til balikbayan box gets full.

how i wish i could help them.. sorry but i dont have enough money share with them maybe prayers all i can do for them. i used to help some street children here not for money but i give some extra foods and some dress that my daughter and i dont used anymore. everytime i see them i pity for them no family to support them.
