Miss Universe 2015 Pia Wurtzbach visited Hope 4 Change office in Tondo, Manila. Hope For Change is a non-profit humanitarian organization dedicated to eradicating the effects of hunger, illiteracy, and disease ravishing impoverished communities throughout East Africa, the Philippines and Indo-Asia.
And I met them yesterday at Tondo, Manila. I saw it for myself! In the Philippines we value education because we don't get it for free. And even if there are schools/universities that don't cost much as compared to other countries, a lot of families still struggle to pay for the school fees because of poverty. Talagang nakakatuwa po na makilala itong mga masisipag na studyante na maggraduate na po sa susunod na buwan. Sabi ko nga sa kanila, "Swerte kayo kasi nakapagtapos kayo. Ako nga hindi ako nakapagcollege kasi di rin namin kaya bayaran yung tuition fees. At naging insecurity ko ng matagal na panahon yun. Hanggang ngayon naiisip ko paring bumalik sa pagaaral." Congratulations! At sana dumami pa kayo 🙏 God bless organizations like this! http://www.h4cinternational.org/ Hope For Change
