"You've gone too far." - The most heartwarming comment we got that says it all.
Buttons to Hope was a spur-of-the-moment idea. But we were right all along. We could make it soar.
Buttons to Hope aimed to raise a million pesos in one year to support the college education of a number of deserving students from Baao. A year hence, we achieved one-third of the target.
Buttons to Hope has incredibly won the hearts of many. The number of people continuing to give support is just overwhelming.
Buttons to Hope proved that service to others does not require power, plenty of money and massive following. It only takes a few determined individuals and a common cause to make it happen.
During the past year, Buttons to Hope has had a few milestones: we made our intentions public, encouraged friends to support, formed a core group of willing members, organized activities, mobilized funds and looked for scholars.
How did we fare? Very good. We have the funds, we are sending six students to school in June, and we are enjoying a good reputation.
Dine. Wine. Celebrate HOPE - our event last night would be a tough act to follow.
Buttons to Hope is a tough act to follow.
Thank you to all for celebrating with us. From the HOPEful button of our hearts!!!
Watch out for a series of blogs about the HOPE event.
