GIVING Takes just $1 (PhP
13) PER DAY
WHAT: EDUCATION is key to progress and development of a nation. For which reason we invest in the education
of our children and are willing to contribute towards scholarships. Now, there
is scholarship, one slot each, in the autonomous Units of the University of the
Philippines, from Baguio to Mindanao. Since it is generally a dream of every
Filipino family that at least one member will graduate from UP, this now is a
possibility. With Pres Pascual as Honorary Chair and the Chancellors’ designees
making up Team One UP, the project moves to augment the fund now with UP
Foundation Inc, in so doing, to increase scholarship slots in all of the UP
System.
HOW: Two
coffee table books, Memoirs of UP Alumni
Abroad (2008) and Memories…a Legacy
Gift (2012) boosted this fund which
now has reached $158,000 in the UPFI, and has helped 24 students. Being an
endowment fund, only the interest earned by the fund is used as awards. The coffee
table books are replete with memoirs of alumni and friends, who with their
tax-deductible contribution get their story published, free of editorial and
cost of publishing, a one-time giving that lasts forever. Memories of UP Alumni United & Friends is scheduled for late
2015 publication.
WHY: Everyone has a story to tell, gratitude to express. Our past is our legacy, our treasure to
honor and share with our children, grandchildren and beyond. The book becomes heirloom of the family. Moreover, it is not just self-serving, but a
magnanimous gift towards helping others get a college education. Your gift will continue giving beyond our
lifetime to iskolars ng bayan.
WHEN: The time is NOW…just send your
pledge and begin setting aside the $1/day. Get a Manila envelop, label it GIVING
from my HEART and each day insert $1 (PhP 13)…for the next 389
days. Yes, it will take just a little
