I heard from my mother that the man who has been the subject of so much sympathy during the last week was given a job by National Bookstore. I also heard that there are many people abroad who are contributing money for his 8 children. That sounds great. But that also raises the question again. Must a tragedy happen before we are moved into action?
Many still suffer in the streets, most vulnerable of them are children. And there's a lot we can do with whatever meager resources we have. We can support organizations like Child Hope Asia or the Philippine Children's Fund of America. We can help any of the hundreds of organizations that work children's causes all over the country. We can make a better impact donating our hard-earned money to causes rather than individuals. The more people we help, the better this country will get. It's time to make a positive change. We can shape the leaders of tomorrow by helping out today. Even a simple act as buying a Christmas card will do a lot to give street children the power to take control of their lives, and eventually, this country's future.
