Even though we cannot help all, every little bit counts. There was a man who started the "Field of Dreams Boys Home" and funded it for two years. Unfortunately his dreams of continued raising of money got difficult and he has stood back and now is letting them try to find local funding. If a foundation ends, the only one hurt are the kids. Travis,

This year I have decided to become more involved on the island. I will be starting a foundation for the kids on the island. I just finished video recordings with the superintendent on the island as well as some footage of the schools. Over the next month I will organize this into a video and start the foundation. Will keep you updated..

But with the control in its history, they have developed these problems. Look at other countries originally developed by Spain and China. They have bad corruption too. I hope in the future, the young people of the Philippines will work to change life here for the better. Talking to many young, many look for smaller families. P.S. I edited one of your words. Respect is needed here in words and thoughts. ocnic-plok,

I have many relatives who are in the same boat inspite of warnings and education. These are some of my recommendations to eradicate the poverty mentality. 1. change the mindset by preaching about responsibility in our school system. 2. Fire the Pope for advocating abstinence as a form of brith control.......that does not work at all. At the same time not allowing priest not to marry (celibate) is an abomination and not biblical. A lot of priest are having unlawful act because of that. I left the Catholic church because of this failure mindset. 3. Women should avoid men that are losers or git rid of them. Poverty is a mindset. I came from a poor background and I was able to beat the odds and became successful!! So these people can change their destiny. I ran out of space. I will write more later.
