Our Secret to Success

While we wanted to tell you the whole story behind F.A.R.M., humility holds us back. We could not afford to brag about our achievements.

But we realized that we cannot own these achievements. Because YOU are very much part of it. So now let us humbly tell you...

Grace, Nico and Russela are college students of the Camarines Sur State Agricultural College. They are on full scholarship - tuition, books, uniform, transportation and food allowance, and lodging at Villa Esperanza. When they work for F.A.R.M. on their free time, they get paid for it.

Bidibidi started with one scholar, now they're three. And hopefully there will be four, and five, and twenty.

These girls are working for F.A.R.M. on summer break to save some cash for books, shoes and uniform.

In buying your F.A.R.M. bracelets, you have helped a lot in sending these students to school, and in meeting the simple needs that are beyond their capacities.

That's our biggest competitive advantage. Our trade secret, now revealed.

As F.A.R.M. reaps its successes, there will definitely be mountains along the way. But we will all help together in getting around those mountains. From three scholars, we aim for more. We work for more.

In the next couple of months, we will enjoin you to take part in our activities to increase the number of F.A.R.M. scholars. Thank you so much for sharing yourselves with us. And we will continue to count on you in moving this very noble cause forward.
