The Phillipines' New Horizon

Horizons Foundation has completed a project in quality Christian education in the Philippines. Worldwide English speakers get much better jobs than non-English speakers, usually at least double the salary of non-English speakers.

A challenge grant was issued to the operators of the small school pictured on the top row, far right. Horizons Foundation provided $6 US for every $1 US raised by the school for expansion, as long as the school agreed to tithe their increased income to a nearby college for maintenance and upkeep of the college buildings. This was a huge commitment for the school officials, but the results may be seen in the picture on the bottom row, lower left. The one-story school was doubled in size by adding a 2nd story, and at least another 30 students are being taught. This is the best school in town and many mothers will walk their children to school and then set outside the school in the shade of a nearby gazebo to wait for their kids to finish the day. The nearby college is receiving monthly income from the increase. Let's always try to make the money work at least twice!
