Ed.note; Click on the post for a tour of the Philippines and the mission of the Philippine Scholars----Schooling is a luxury in a third world country where many of the fishermen make less that $200 per year in hard currency. I am pleased to sponsor a student at the Bohol school. Below is the letter I received with the slideshow. Click on the post to run the slideshow which has slides and movies. The Philippine Scholars is a tax exempt charitable organization. To get info on sponsoring a student email pscholar@msn.com.
Dear Philippine Scholar Sponsor,
Last April, as my wife Glen and I went to the Philippines and to three Scholar summer camps, we were accompanied for two weeks by Sponsors Pete Lund and Harriet Strasberg. They were able to spend almost a week each with their Scholars, Stephanie in Cebu and Evan in Bohol. They had a great time. They made an on-line show of what they saw and did. I believe this does an excellent job to capture, from American perspectives, the towns and people. I highly recommend that you watch this.

It's really important to do all we can to help educate the less fortunate. Education is key to improving lives in the Philippines and around the world.
