Meet our 350 Scholars in SFAS for SY2014-2015

It’s back to school time!  St. Francis of Assisi School in Silay City is definitely off to a great start with a record-breaking number of scholars this year.  With the generosity of our supporters from the Philippines and abroad, we now have 350 scholars – that’s 63 more deserving kids compared to last year!  We know we say this over and over again but we cannot stress it enough: giving these children access to a better education would not have been possible without your help.  YOU are changing their lives now and YOU are giving them a chance for a better future.  Thank you, thank you, thank you.

                            

So, without further ado, we present to you the Tapulanga scholars for school year 2014 – 2015!
