Dear Friends of Camarines Norte:
Every once in a while there comes a rare opportunity to help make a difference in someone else's life. Some of us stumbled into one such opportunity in the form of a newly-formed non-profit group called Alay Sa Kapwa whose mission is to undertake livelihood partnership projects that benefit the economically disadvantaged residents of Camarines Norte.
The first ASK-SV project to be formally launched last January 3, 2008 is a Piglet Propagation Project, which aims to distribute free breeder piglets to carefully selected residents of San Vicente, Camarines Norte for them to care for and raise to maturity and farrowing. In receiving the piglet, the recipient agrees and commits to giving back two piglets to the project, for dispersal to new recipients. Thus the project's aim is not to simply give away piglets for the sole benefit of the recipient, but to perpetuate the act of giving for the long term benefit of the community.
We invite you to participate as a donor in this community effort to alleviate poverty. We hope you will respond to our appeal to your sense of affiliation to the town, where in some impoverished corner, there lives a relative, friend, a former classmate, teacher, neighbor, etc. Your help may be instrumental in uplifting the economic condition of the place where they live.
Your donation will help us procure piglets, at about $50 per piglet, and cover incidental expenses incurred by a host of volunteers. For the January 2008 launch, we distribute 15 piglets to five recipient families in three Barangays.
Thank you for your support.
Sincerely,
ASK Core Group
