I am very pleased to tell you that in spite of an astonishing but somewhat disappointing low percentage (just under 20%) participation from alumni members, still, we were able to meet our targeted goal for the proposed Night High School Scholarship Project. Suffice it to say, that if only majority of us participated, there’s no doubt in my mind we can do a lot more.
Thanks in part to all those alumni (automatic & honorary) members who submitted their pledge forms, and in particular, to an anonymous donor, albeit not truly a member, but wholeheartedly offered support without qualms or hesitations.
In other words, the efforts we have exerted so far to try to make a difference in the lives of two underprivileged kids are not lost at all!
In the next few days, all those who made their pledges will be receiving an email detailing the full mechanics this scholarship project entails. Instructions and payment procedures will also be included in the email so that you may all start fulfilling your pledges as soon as possible.
Thank you to all for understanding that your total commitment to this project is very much valued, needed, and expected in order for us to succeed in the actual implementation.
I would also like to take this opportunity to acknowledge those who were not able to offer their financial support at this time for one reason or another. I am confident and hopeful that next time, you will all be in a better position, ready, able, interested, and/or willing to make a commitment to similar projects or undertakings. Needless to say, that at any time, your support, financial or otherwise, is always welcome.
Lastly, let’s be proud of our batch, because we did not let ourselves down. It was not an easy ride but we were able to meet our first challenge.
Now, I can’t wait to shake hands with our future scholars. Don’t you feel the same?
Maraming Salamat Po!
Sincerely,
Edgardo David

You guys never fail to enterntain me...
wooohooo...let's do it!
kudos to all who supports this cause. I wish you all good luck and success.
thanks anonymous, we just succeeded in our first challenge.
really, thanks to all for supporting this project.
cheers!
ok ang project ninyo pero bakit po konti lang ang nagparticipate sa project nyo. baka kulang sa communication o ayaw lang magjoin ng iba.
there could be a lot of reasons why a low turnout but it's a moot point now, we met our goal, and that's more important.
there's a chance more will join since the door will never close if anyone would like to come in and participate.

to IGIG, it's good that we "enterntain" you. at least we made somebody happy of sort...
Anonymous,
you're partly right on the communication aspect. we can not cover all of our batchmates as we don't know their where abouts. some knew about the project but pretending as if they know nothing. others also don't want to join because they have some other things in mind. it'll be very sad that a chance was already given to them to extend a helping hand, but refused to do so.you can be sure that we're not closing the doors for them..
one thing for sure is the truth that those who participated and made their pledges were all ready to push through with the project, whatever happens..
we all know what at stake here kaya naman i'm confident more classmates and friends will be enlightened, eventually join and help us in their own way.
Thanks again!

Hmmm, you finally found that quote from O...
SO GLAD WE CAN GO ON WITH THIS PROJECT. For those who were not able to participate for whatever reason, that's ok. u are still part of this as long as di ka kasama ni ni NATO!
Thanks to you Anonymous at last go na tayo next year. May the Lord bless you more.
good day to all !
