Such amazing work!” Jean Doria told the students. “Never stop writing. Writing is a critical ability that creates change. It could be the stepping stone to achieve your dreams.” Rene and Jean Doria also spoke to students who are recipients of IHHELPP’s first classroom sponsorship. “Being underprivileged is not a hindrance to achieve your goals,” said Rene Doria. |

It is better to give than to receive. This principle guides IHHELPP’s actions as it continues to seek ways to assist the needy in the Philippines.
