  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Hello everyone I am Nashella Mae of Bright Tomorrow Foundation. We are a non-governmental organization which runs an orphanage in Cebu City, Philippines. I am here to ask for your support and assistance in sustaining the daily needs of our children.

We currently are supporting 30 orphans, age 9-13, most of them were surrendered by their biological parents because of poverty. We do have
local benefactors but our growing orphanage has made the situation even more financially demanding because we have now more mouths to feed. The Cebu City Provincial Government, fortunately, is subsidizing
their vitamins, medicines, and education (our building is just nearby a government public school).

We, too, have our way of sustaining the orphanage by operating a 20-seater internet cafe business at the ground floor of the same building and this greatly help us offset water, electric, and telephone bills.

The food allowance that we allocate for each child daily is PhP168.00 (Philippine Peso) or around £3 GBP or US $ 4.

Here is the breakdown (prices are in Philippine peso):

Breakfast:

2 pcs. ham/sausage (depending on what's available in the grocery)- PhP16.00
2 small tomatoes -PhP6.00
1 salted, boiled duck's egg -PhP20.00
1 can of sterilized cow's milk (154 ml) - PhP22.00
1 cup of rice - PhP 10.00


Lunch:

1 serving beef/chicken/pork soup (depending on what's available in the grocery) - PhP25.00
1 glass orange juice - PhP10.00
1 cup of rice - PhP10.00


Snacks:

1 serving "champorado" (rice mixed with hot cocoa) - PhP15.00
2 pcs. dried, salted fish - PhP 5.00
1 glass of water (free)


Supper:

1 serving oyster soup - PhP15.00
1 pc. fried fish with soy sauce and calamansi - PhP 15.00
1 cup of rice - PhP10.00
1 pc. banana (or any fruits, depending on what's available in the grocery) - PhP10.00
1 glass of water (free)


*Menu changes every two weeks.


We ask from your kind and generous heart for support and assistance. You may send your donation to this address:

Bright Tomorrow Foundation
198-C F. Jaca Street
Inayawan, Cebu City 6000
Philippines


We also accept donations such as cooking oil, salt & pepper, MSG, sugar, powdered coffee or milk, used clothing, canned goods, etc.

Our benefactors will be included in our children's vespers together with their prayer requests. This is our own little way of showing how much we appreciate your kindness.

I'm not sure if I posted this in the correct category. Please do move to the correct section.


Lovingly yours,
Nashella Mae :pink:
