Our NGO, is strongly advocating Poverty Reduction and Quality of Life for the Poor Filipino Families, which I think is very similar to many of the development agencies objective.
What makes it different, is our strong belief ( among others…) that Quality of Life can be achieved even to the poor families, If they are RESPONSIBLE enough in whatever decisions / actions they undertake, including getting married and having a family and planning the number of children they can afford and attend to.
With our economic situation, even if both parents are working, but there are several children, they will still encounter financial difficulties. How much more for families with several children but have low or no definite income? They have to be RESPONSIBLE also, and aside from being Economically Productive, they have to be Less Reproductive! so they can be financially independent and will not also be a burden to others, to the government and to our society. We cannot and do not have to wait for the government or the church to solve Poverty.
Since we want them to be RESPONSIBLE, we also have to educate them and provide them with Options or Choices as well as Opportunities.
There is an upcoming Option and Opportunity - aside from being FREE (this is no longer free even in gov’t hospital, ( P3,000/procedure in a private facility), these will also be performed by expert US Urologists, ( pls. refer to the attached) and because client will have no income 2-3 days after NSV, financial assistance will be extended to them for loss of income and other related expenses.
We have been conducting NSV Education for months now and also during the mission. It is very important that they have access to proper NSV education. Our opinions differ, but I hope we will not impose our own values to them, because it is not us who will directly suffer, but the poor children and the family members, so the decision should be theirs ! ours is only to disseminate /educate. NSV education is for all , but NSV is voluntary, intended only for those who are interested.
If foreign nationals and Filipinos living comfortably in the U.S. are concern with our poor Filipino families living in poverty, how much more for us who are seeing their sufferings more often, families with little children living in the streets,some scavenging or begging for food…at times we will also be victimized by these children snatchers hold uppers and or we will be affected with other socio-eco problems of our society.
I hope those who are in the best position to widely disseminate this, will do so, to help the poor Filipinos to rise above poverty and to gradually reduce unattended, neglected, abandoned, malnourished, out-of-school and or children in the streets. Thank you very much !
Very truly yours,
