November last year, Mommy Amigas launched the iCan Change
for Change campaign- a fundraising campaign that encouraged the Everest
community to save their loose change in order to help provide scholarships for
the students in Mano Amiga Academy.
As a result of the generosity of the Everest students, they
were able to raise enough funds to provide a full-year scholarship for Rhian
Belle Ynona Balwit, a kindergarten student in Mano Amiga Academy.
It is truly heartwarming to see how Everest kids are
openhandedly helping other kids to have a better future and a quality education
like they do.
Rhian together with her mom, personally thanked the Mommy
Amigas and the Everest students for sending her to school for another year.
During the Assembly, the Everest students didn’t know who
Rhian was until she spoke to express her heartfelt gratitude for their
generosity in providng her a full-year scholarship. The students were more than
surprised, they could not believe how far their loose change have gone. They
were inspired how great a small act of kindness can set the foundation for
someone’s brighter future.
In many ways both big and small, children helping other
children make the world a better place.
