Philippines - the lovely story of Alice and Melanie

(Alice can be seen in the middle of this photograph)
Several years ago Melanie visited Philippines and met Alice who had a cleft palette. Even in the poorest of communities poor Alice was bullied and victimised. Melanie, as she does everywhere, with children of all nationalities and religions, fell in love with Alice and vowed to assist her.
A short time later Melanie and her family and friends arranged for the finances and operation to take place. Last week Melanie met up with Alice again. What a beautiful child - Melanie has certainly touched this child and changed her life for the better.

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.

Aims of A Ray of Hope
