Meet Macy-Jean, The 6th Child Sponsored by LangaList Plus! Subscribers
Macy-Jean Calinawan (shown above, with her older sister and mother) lives in the Philippines. Here's the note we got about her:
Dear Sponsor,
Life may be difficult for the children and their families within our communities in the Philippines but it is typical for Filipinos to be strong, and to smile in the midst of their trials and difficulties.
Throughout the years, we have relied on your generous support to deliver quality health and education programs to the children and their families. Your contributions also help to aid in developing these communities into places where children can flourish in a peaceful and creative environment and are provided with the opportunity to a hopeful and productive future.
We recently visited your sponsored child and would like to share with you
this photo (above).
There may be thousands of ways to say thank you but the most meaningful of them all is the one that is coming from the heart With that I would like to thank you for working so closely with us in order to put smiles on the beautiful faces of these children and their families. --- Michael Novell, Field Office Director
ABOUT THE LANGALIST SPONSORSHIPS:
Those of us with computers and Internet access are vastly better off than most of the world's population. Because of this, I decided that a portion of the LangaList Plus! subscription fees would be donated to registered/legitimate charities helping the underprivileged around the world. The contribution does not increase the cost of a Plus! subscription in any way; the donation is taken "off the top" of any profits. (This is described in the pages at http://www.langa.com/plus.htm )
Macy-Jean is the sixth child sponsored for a full year (via an international relief agency) by the collective generosity of LangaList subscribers. LangaList Plus! subscribers also have collectively contributed to emergency earthquake relief efforts in India and to funds to assist those hurt in the Sept 11th terrorist attacks on the US.. (To see all the donations so far, click to http://www.langa.com/plus2.htm#kids )
As the year goes on, and as more readers sign up for Plus! subscriptions, I hope we'll be able to sponsor more children and assist other charities around the world.
Graham Greene once said, "There is always a moment in childhood when the door opens and lets the future in...." If you're already a LangaList Plus subscriber, thank you! You can feel good about giving back a little to those less fortunate, and opening "a door to the future" for a child in otherwise-desperate circumstances.
If you're not yet a Plus! subscriber check it out: With a Plus! subscription, you can not only help yourself make the most of your hardware, software and time online with expanded content and no advertising--- but you also can help those less fortunate (like Macy-Jean) make the most of their very lives. Thanks for your help!
