The underlying principle of our commitment with heart and mind is to help people to help themselves. And to do this in a concrete, personal and transparent way. We have adopted the term sponsorship to emphasise the direct relationship to our sponsored children in the Philippine city of Bacolod on the main island of Negros. We want to support children who have no hope for a secure future until such time as they are able to take their lives into their own hands.
We are happy to help therefore, because we have been able to realise our vision of meaningful involvement successfully and in the long term. In the words of our Philippine Administrative Office Manager Bebol J. Carreon: 'The children should not believe that they are successful only because of their sponsor, rather they should realise that they have succeeded with the help of their sponsor and that the success is based on their own effort and hard work."
