THE ARMANDO Q. LEYVA PROJECT (PART 6)

THE ARMANDO Q. LEYVA PROJECT (PART 6)

            After our pitiable Jail Indigents, we head up to our next project, the 50 Malnourished Children from Bolasi, San Fabian, Pangasinan. Aside from the regular Gift Giving, Medical Missions, Feeding Programs, Games & Prizes, THE ARMANDO Q. LEYVA PROJECT also prioritizes education for the youth. When my Grandfather, the “GREAT” ARMANDO Q. LEYVA was still alive, one of his encouragements and advices to the Parents & Children was to value a diploma and a Bachelor’s Degree. He still faithfully believes that having an education will bring you far, even beyond from what you could ever imagine your life would turn into. One of this is, it would help you easily & especially on decision making because your mind has been trained to make a decision maturely. So believe me when I say that education won’t fail you & your dreams for the future. You would still need the basic foundation & tools of learning before you go out in the streets and learn from fighting the hardships of reality.

            And because one of my Grandfather’s burden was to help the Gospel of Christ Fellowship Pastor’s Children in their tuition fees, he decided to build up a school. So in the year of our Lord 2000, the Gospel of Christ Montessori School was founded. Its main purpose was to help the GCF Pastor’s Children have their free education. But on the other hand, throughout most of his life, my Grandfather has already been doing this for over the past 5 decades, eversince the time that he allowed himself to be used by our Creator, he already had countless of scholars... So when he went back with our Lord in Heaven, he left that heavy lumber to be carried by his Children & Grandchildren, a profound load saddled right into the heart to continue being used in helping to give free education to those who need it the most. But that is how great our GOD is, for in his right time, every purpose shall begin to reveal itself as long as you fervently pray & have great patience. With God’s will & promise, he allowed me & Mr. Denton Caballero to cross paths because Mr. Denton & his co-teachers are passionate educators who have this groundwork called “LITERACY BY THE SEA”. It is a project wherein free education was given to these out of school Children by literally reaching them into their secluded & distantly remote homes. They are teaching these kids depending on their mental capacity and this is regularly done during the weekends. When Mr. Denton brought me this cause, right away I said “THE ARMANDO Q. LEYVA PROJECT will support the “LITERACY BY THE SEA” Project”.

            So on December 5, 2015, THE ARMANDO Q. LEYVA PROJECT went to the far-flung Bolasi, San Fabian to visit our 50 Malnourished Children. We have shared to these little ones on how our God loves them so much, that he has sent numerous & various groups of people just to show them that they matter in his world. It was a very pleasing & heartwarming event because the innocence of these kids would just rub on you. It will just melt your heart knowing that you have been chosen by God as an essential witness to these young one’s first ever experience in this one of a kind occasion. Their earnest smiles & annoyingly insisting but adorable charming faces had left my heart with a priceless & permanent smile.

            This project has been so successful because our God has used people like Mr. Denton Caballero & his co-teachers, who still care about these destitute & impoverished Children. For without them, who else would teach these Children about LOVE? So Praise our Creator for passionate individuals like them. And one of the main lessons that we have learned from this experience is, “You don’t have to spend big to bring help & love to your neighbors”, there are many forms and ways to help them from their current situation, what’s important is they would feel your indisputable heart for them…

            The ARMANDO Q. LEYVA PROJECT (PART 6) would like to thank Bishop Windsor Cabrera, Pastor Thess Cabrera, Pastor Oscar Joaquin, Brother Ramil De Los Reyes, Ms. Magdalena Erfe, Ms. Gladys Partible and the “LITERACY BY THE SEA” Teachers headed by Mr. Denton Caballero. May our GOD do wonderful favors to your heart’s desires…
