My wife met John 8 years ago and heard his story about working professionally in the Phillipines and seeing children living in the street with no one to care for them. Unlike most of us, John didn't turn his back on these kids - he did something about the situation. We are proud to have supported Lingap these past 8 years - in increasing amounts - because we have seen the difference that Lingap has made in the lives of these innocent children. The fact that John and the Board pay all of the overhead expense of the foundation is also a testament to the quality of this charity. If there were more John Drakes in the world, there would be a lot less suffering.
