My Passion...





Got so many passions in my life...one of them is doing community outreach. I probably do not need the effort to look for venues in helping other people because opportunities always come my way. I am glad I am given the office of an institution to reach out and help "the last, the lost, and the least" of our brothers and sisters.

It really helps when at your young mind extending help has been drilled because everything becomes spontaneous. I am just thankful that my parents have inculcated to me this value of being sensitive to the needs of other people. I would remember my father's words when I was still young...he said..."one need not be rich in order to help people. One can share his time, attention, love, care, service and a little of what he or she has."

To help meet the immediate needs of people is a self fulfilling task. When their needs are met, we see the glow in their faces, the feeling of being loved and cared for, the feeling that they are special and important. Their words of thanks melt one's heart as they express their sincere gratitude. No amount of money can quantify the feeling of fulfillment. It is really very rewarding on the part of the volunteers.

I am thankful because I am a part of Cybercare...a group which has a noble cause... to help and reach out for the less fortunate brothers and sisters. Indeed, the group has been doing a noble endeavor. With the success of the two projects, the visit at the Home for the Elderly in Bahay Pag-ibig in the City of San Fernando, Pampanga, and the giving of bags to the indigent learners through its Back/Bag to Skul project in Sergia-Soriano Esteban II in Kalaklan, Olongapo, Cybercare is further inspired to have its third project in "Alay ng Puso" in Del Pan Street, San Nicolas, Manila.

I do believe that we can make a difference in the life of people with the little help that we share to them. Afterall, what people need these days is to feel that somebody is there for them. So that whatever support they receive, in cash or in kind would definitely make them feel special and important.

With the selfless effort we give, through the precious time we share to them, the little help, with all the love and care that go with it, we share in their dreams of having people help them meet their needs and improve their life. Life for them would have a difference if only we Share in their Dreams...
