Province Smile's First Mission!
When Joy was in grade school in the Philippines, she used to pick fruit to take to school so that she could trade it for a piece of paper with a classmate.
Surprisingly this is very common in the Philippines province (small towns).
Many kids don’t have school supplies, school uniforms, shoes or even food. And without an education, they are most likely stuck in a life of poverty just like their parents.
After seeing this with my own eyes, (and Joy living it during her childhood) we are on a mission to help as many small-village province kids as we can. Kids who are the poorest of the poor who can’t help themselves. Kids who are hungry every day. Kids who literally have nothing.
Watch our video about our first mission and how it all started:
We helped over 300 kids with school supplies, and 100 families with rice on this first mission trip. It was funded by myself and two generous donors totaling about $1500. We learned a lot and now we have our sights set on a new school that we will reveal in the coming months.
Although we love the adventure and being the boots-on-the-ground, the reality is, Joy and I don’t have much more money to give, just a willingness and excitement to try to keep serving these kinds of kids if God continues to open the doors for us.
This is where you come in…
We Need Partners Like You
In order for this to continue we need to rely on the generous support from donors. If you believe this is something you would like to support then please pray for us and consider pledging to our next mission which is now live on GoFundMe.
And guess what! We’ve already surpassed the funding of our first mission! Our goal is to double the budget that we had last time. With your help, I’m sure we can do it. :)
