Stephano is entering his third year at Samson School of Technology and studying hard. He hopes to get a good job after graduation. He wants to help his widowed mother and support his three younger siblings through school. We have supported and encouraged his education since grade school and believe he will accomplish his goals. His school fees are $285 for one term. We welcome donors who can help sponsor him to complete the last three terms of his post-high school degree.
Stephano’s father passed away four years ago. He recently wrote a deeply touching letter to his dad for Father’s Day this past June. The original essay written in Tagalog is attached below:
Stephano A.
MY FATHER
He did not show his love for me, but I felt it.
Whenever I came home late, he was mad, not because I was late but because he was worried for me. He did not say it, but I felt it.
Whenever I/we achieved something, it seemed he did not care, but he was happy that his efforts were bearing fruit. He did not show it, but I felt it.
He left with many unpleasant memories. Although he did not show it, I know he regretted what he had done. Why? I felt it.
He was not showy with his emotions, aside from anger, but I felt his love for us.
Wherever he may be now, I wish he knew that we love him. I hope he felt it.
