The Four Dollar Future

I checked out my high school alma mater's website today and I was floored. The website featured the school's night class program for indigent high school students.

The students who enrolled for this program have a thousand reasons to be mighty proud of themselves. I mean, there's this woman in her 50's who signs up and is going for her dream to finish high school. A boy treads kilometers day by day to attend classes and is doing well. An eighteen year old girl saves up her day's earnings to go to school after spending hours waiting tables on a daily basis.

Tuition for a month is 150 pesos. People, that is just 4 US dollars. For an entire school year, that is only about 2 thousand pesos, equivalent to 50 measly dollars. That may be dirt cheap to a lot of people but for struggling fellows, that's an arm and a leg.

You wanna make a difference? Help these and other deserving people by sending them to school on your account. Come on, thats just 4 dollars. Help also the underpaid teacher who spends a little more time at school to attend to them.

I set up a Paypal account so that generous souls can send their donations. Please use the button below. I will turn over the donations and present them as a surprise to my school. Feeling more generous and wanting to donate something bigger? You can make a donation directly to the school by sending a message through the Contact form in the school website and asking for information on how to help.

Rest assured that this school, Claret High, is giving one fine education to the deserving. Come on, I graduated there. ;-) All it takes is your 4 dollars.

When you donate, you're giving someone a future. Don't be selfish, please.
