Philippines - “The Elderly project”

Philippines - “The Elderly project” aimed to support poor aged people their basic needs such as: milk, soap, towel, rice, medicines to improve their health and well being with advice on where to get help and how this lonely and vulnerable group can help themselves. Promoting good communication and community cohesiveness and responsibility for each other. Also eye tests, haircutting and registration for future events. 62 in the target group attended - A very successful event thanks to Glorecita and friends. Always a pleasure to support this efficient and dedicated group of people in their endeavours to assist the less fortunate and sometimes forgotten people in their milieu.

A Ray of Hope, UNESCO Youth Ambassador for the Culture of Peace

A Ray of Hope is not a charity and we try as far as possible never to assist in currency form, but rather prefer to investigate what people, especially children, need throughout the world and to deliver that item directly into their hands. This avoids many of the pitfalls that exist in the world of giving.
We believe that diversity of culture is enrichment and actively look for and promote friendships ..... if we can assist our friends we do.We have little difficulty in obtaining certain educational supplies and to date have distributed over $9 million worth. Some of the smaller items, although easily purchased, we feel it is to the benefit of everyone that those who wish can assist us and in doing so know that they have helped directly.
No member of A Ray of Hope receives financial gain of any kind but the true satisfaction of knowing that, at very least, we are attempting to make a difference.
