What's been a life long dream is now a reality. Just one year since we started to build NOW Foundation and here I am standing in Lantus D Philippines. A place that's already found, a home in my heart. These kids, many of them come from broken homes. Some have no parents, no stability, and no real chance of shaping their own future. But we believe education can change that. In this village alone, there are over 400 children. Some get the opportunity to learn, others miss out. Simply because there aren't enough classrooms or resources. That's where we come in. We're building a brand new school connected to the existing Lancewood Primary to give more children the chance to learn, to dream and to break free from the cycle of poverty. These kids live in small huts with no electricity, no running water, no toilets and no access to food unless they grow or catch it themselves. Without education, they don't stand a fighting chance. Have been incredibly blessed to spend time here to see their joy, their struggle, and what hope really looks like in its worst form. And yes, we could have partnered with another organisation already on the ground. But that's not who we are. We want to get our hands dirty. We want to be a part of the journey to make sure every dollar, every effort has a real, tangible impact. We break ground next week, and this is just the beginning, the start of something special.
