We Have A Venue!

For a few weeks now Gabriel has been working nonstop on his paintings bearing in mind that his sacrifices would mean a priceless gift for the children in Sipalay and Hinobaan. As his mother I take pride in the fact that at his tender age, he is already taking it upon himself to affect change in the society. When he inquired about the possibilities of him holding an art exhibit, I didn't wait a second in explaining to him the mechanics, the sacrifices that he's going to make, and that the only consolation would be to see the faces of his fellow children lighting up while receiving their notebooks. We have been praying each night that God will provide us with the venue for the exhibit. Since it's going to be a charity event, it will defeat the purpose if we spend for anything to have it done. Today, God has answered our prayer! A new friend I met on Facebook offered her place for us to hold the Art Exhibit. How encouraging it is to know that somewhere out there, someone heard God's whispers and directs her to us. Salamat Leia Mae, for being an angel to us. May you be blessed even more!

What Can a Child Do for Others?

Gabriel is 10 years old and this particular summer would be extra special for him because there's no out of town trips, vacations, outings. Aside from being a child volunteer for Ambit where he usually gets assigned reading stories to children beneficiaries in our adopted villages, Gabriel takes joy in doing his part in the notebook drive. Right now, he is dedicating his time doing his paintings for his first ever painting exhibit. He wanted to help donate notebooks for Ambit and he thought of using his talent in raising funds for the less fortunate children in Sipalay and Hinobaan. May he be an inspiration to us.
