Pa-share din...
I was into volunteer works for around four years... sometimes we go to a small town and clean the area... the following year, we go back again... frustrating because they depended on voluteers... so I said maybe eductaion is the real answer... so we did focus on educating the people through lectures... still frustrating because what happened seemed to be just presentation of facts, it seemed they did not learn... I kept wondering what we could do for them... we set an example they rely on us; we teach, they don't act... maybe after those two, it's just good to pray for them... that's why now I appreciate the contemplatives.. they dedicate their life to prayer constantly praying that someday people will change...
In the meantime, I think we should mind our business more... I read from a book by Andrew Matthews which says, "the best thing we can do for the poor is to be not one of them"... maybe, if we work hard, pay our taxes, make the company we work for productive, our company will prosper... our kids will see our example and from there, a new breed of population will come... let's be honest in our dealings, let's not waste office hours, and let's educate our kids who will run our country in the future...
Let's pray constantly, too... join rallies? Hopefully our attendance in rallies would be minimal... let's start with ourselves , and like Bob, educate the people around us... we can only do so much, let's do all that we can...
Need to cut my part short... got to go again... God bless you all!

anong institution nga ba ang dapat gumawa nito? Eskuwelahan? Eh
wala ngang perang pang-aral. Simbahan? Majority sa atin kristiyano
pero bakit questionable ang attitude/behaviour/ethics ng nakararami?
Pamilya? Eh watak-watak nga paano pa makaka-provide ng proper
guidance si nanay/tatay? How frustrating :(
