• The Behavioral Science Society of UST partnered up with World Vision for a child sponsorship project, and all us members donate P15 each every month. Even so, I didn't know how the whole thing worked, so I read the brochure they gave out and got intrigued.

World Vision, it turns out, is an organization aimed towards alleviating poverty. Their programs include child sponsorship, where for as little as P600 a month, your donation helps a child with his education, healthcare and security, and community development, among other things. I got so enthusiastic about it that I told Mom "We should totally do this," and we did, splitting the P600 between us.
Our papers arrived the other day, and I found out that our sponsored child is a fourth-grade girl. Sadly, she's too far away to visit, but at least I can write to her.

All is well. Would anyone judge me if I put a smiley here, just for emphasis? :D
