My wife and I have personally visited the Lingap Center in Toledo City, Cebu and seen the direct result of the donations and efforts of staff to rescue these children. One will never understand true poverty until you see the eyes of children who were once abandoned like trash but now have hope and love surrounding them. Conditions in the Philippines are beyond description, and Lingap Center is one of the few bright rays of hope in this community. Every child in this program is involved in education; one of the tenets of this charity is that education provides a pathway out of poverty. 100% of every dollar donated goes direct to the care and support of the children, and even small donations make a huge difference there. I do not give to many charities because I'm unsure where the money ends up, but with Lingap I know from my own eyes and spending 48 hours with the children that this is a cause worth supporting.
