2021 Christmas Gift Packages APPEAL
We would like to wish you a Happy Thanksgiving and a happy, blessed holiday season, and more wishes for your continued safety and well-being. And of course, we would like to thank you for your continued generosity and thoughtfulness these past two challenging years — assistance that the children badly need.
As you are aware, Philippine International Aid (PIA) focuses its efforts in sending underprivileged and marginalized children to school throughout the Philippines, about 2,500 of them annually. During the pandemic, PIA was able to raise funds to provide food and hygiene supplies to these children and their families. Unfortunately, this dire situation in the Philippines has only improved slightly as lockdowns have been lifted in certain areas and parent are able to work, if they can find jobs. Due to the upcoming presidential elections, helping the poor cope with the pandemic and the worsening economic situation have not been a priority of the government.
This holiday season, we will be giving these children and their families a Christmas gift package that will include the following items: 10 kgs. of rice, 1 kg. spaghetti, spaghetti sauce, 2 cans of corned beef, 2 cans of meatloaf and 3 pieces of instant noodles. All these for a cost of only $15 each gift package. Will you help us provide these essential food items to the children and their families? The amount seems so small (you may want to send gift packages to several children) but it will save a family from malnutrition and starvation during the Christmas season.
