The children are our future. For the families, for the businesses and
for the Country.
Who will take care, once, when the parents get old, are ill and cannot work anymore? In certain countries around the world, they are placed in old citizen homes, away from their loved ones and get forgotten. Here in the Philippines, like in most of the Asian countries, the next Generation of the family takes care, also by supporting them where ever they can, even financially. So, our children have to be thought and educated to be responsible and respectful children and later on adults.
For the businesses, good educated employees are an asset, and this means, success, based on management down to the last person in a company. That for, the businesses should be all interested in good educated children, when they enter the work force. However, it is also their duty to support public schools, teachers and staff to achieve that. Donations are for them an investment, an investment in the presence and future.
A country with higher educated people has automatically a higher standard of living and does not depend on foreign investments and workers. Means they do not have to sell their assets to foreign investment companies. The Government has only to provide the base (means the school) for that. In this chain are the parents, the teachers, school managements and last but not least the students in duty.
Thank you for your attention and generous Donations.
