			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong><a href="http://www.pondongpinoy.com.ph/" target="_blank">Pondo ng Pinoy</a></strong> is the vision of one man who dares to dream dreams that would move forward the Church in the Philippines as the Church of the Poor ñ†<strong>the Archbishop of Manila, Most Rev. Gaudencio B. Rosales.</strong></p>
<p><strong><a href="http://www.pondongpinoy.com.ph/" target="_blank"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-278" title="pondongpinoy" src="http://aboutph.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/pondongpinoy.jpg" alt="pondongpinoy" width="288" height="151" /></a><br />
</strong></p>
<p><strong>Pondo ng Pinoy Community Foundation, Inc. (PnP)</strong> is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission as a non-profit organization. †It has since evolved into a ìmechanism to consolidate efforts at local poverty alleviation.î† PnP is administered by a Board of Trustees composed of distinguished lay leaders, bishops, priests and religious, with the Roman Catholic Church as its initiator, promoter and steward.<img title="More..." src="http://causeoriented.aboutph.com/wp-includes/js/tinymce/plugins/wordpress/img/trans.gif" alt="" /><span id="more-277"></span></p>
<p>PnP&#8217;s objective is mainly to educate the Filipino people towards a new mindset, a new way of becoming and a new way of living.† It aims to engage the various sectors of society, and in the process, consolidate positive responses and attitudes that will lead to the development of a new culture.</p>
<p>The love of God and hope of the Filipino are given a value that is actually a ìcrumbî ñ 25 centavos.† Twenty-five centavos saved daily by parents and their children, by teachers and their students, by parishioners, by every man and woman, by all Filipinos, and turned over to Pondo ng Pinoy will be the concrete response to Jesusí call, ìLove one another as I have loved you.î† The accumulated savings will then be distributed by Pondo ng Pinoy to fund projects on education, health care, livelihood, etc. that will directly help the poor live with dignity that is their birth right as children of God.† In this way, PnP is not only a value or a method, but a personal and collective paradigm for human development.</p>

<p>Incorporated in 2005, the†<strong><a href="http://www.carewellcommunity.org/" target="_blank">Cancer Resource and Wellness (Carewell) Community</a></strong> is a nonprofit foundation that provides support, education, and hope to persons with cancer and their loved ones.† Carewell was envisioned by the late Jessica &#8220;Jackie&#8221; Fernandez-Suntay, and her husband, Robert &#8220;Bobbit&#8221; Suntay.† Their commitment to establishing Carewell was inspired by their experiences at The Wellness Community (TWC).<span id="more-274"></span></p>
<p>Headquartered in the US, TWC is the largest international, community-based psychosocial support organization that provides free resources and services to persons living with cancer.† Bobbit and Jackie were convinced that the efficacy of Jackie&#8217;s medical treatment &#8211; and the quality of both their lives &#8211; had been substantially enhanced by their participation in TWC&#8217;s array of complementary programs. Thus, Carewell is inspired by and operates with the support of TWC &#8211; Boston, as well as TWCís National Office.† In May 2007, Carewell became TWCís first and only International Affiliate in Southeast Asia.</p>
<h2 style="text-align: center">Would you like to donate to the Carewell Community?</h2>
<p>Smart subscribers may give a weekly donation of P10, P20, P50 or P100 to Carewell. †Just follow these simple steps:</p>

<p><strong>Autism Society Philippines</strong> (ASP) is a national, non-profit organization dedicated to the well-being of persons with autism spectrum disorder. ASP envisions an environment that empowers persons with autism spectrum disorder to become, to the best of their potentials, self-reliant, productive and socially accepted members of the community.</p>
<p>ASP commits itself to the establishment of institutional mechanisms to support persons with autism and their families. One of its goals is for the provincial areas, especially for the underprivileged and underdeveloped, to have access to intervention services as it sets up a nationwide network of chapters in key cities or regional centers in the country.<span id="more-269"></span></p>
<p>ASP currently has 31 chapters, covering the northern and southern parts of the country, and continues to grow in strength as new provinces are working towards establishing ASP representation in their respective areas.</p>

<p>Founded in 1972, Haribon is the Philippines pioneer environmental organization. †Haribon was established as a birdwatching society. Inspired by the majesty as well as the plight of the Philippine Eagle, which even then was critically endangered, Haribon drew members from nature lovers who wanted to do something about the threatened wildlife of the country. †Haribon undertook the Philippine Eagle project, studying the little known ecology of the Philippine Eagle and looking for the most effective way to conserve one of the world&#8217;s most magnificent birds of prey.<span id="more-264"></span></p>
<p>Haribon became a full-fledged nature conservation foundation under the leadership of its first president, Dr. Celso Roque. Its name was changed from The Haribon Society to the Haribon Foundation for the Conservation of Natural Resources.</p>
