Pag Asa is filipino for - "hope". It is the brain child of our Teach Beyond staffer's, Tom & Beth Potter. One of my favorite kids movies is 'Robots' and use one of the lines as my life theme. "SEE A NEED - FILL A NEED" (which is where W.O.W. came from) This is exactly what Beth saw when she was working with Destiny's Promise in Metro Manila. Kids living in these settings have varying degrees of education, usually they are from poor to none. Teacher's here, have an average of 50 students per class, so these children do not get the attention that they need in the Philippine school systems and are actually a burden to the teachers. The children's homes take children from the Department of Social Welfare (DSWD) & Developement, but receive no funding from the government. Each orphanage is supported by donations, so private education is costly. Teach Beyond provides this to them at no cost. The Potter's dreamed of getting these children where they belong intellectually, mentally and spiritually. Then, boost them into the top of their class and onto great colleges. As adults they will be motivated, educated and have the ability to obtain positions into high places in society, remembering where they came from and reaching out to the children travelling down the same road. Teach Beyond is a great organization if you have a heart for missions, the gift of teaching and a love for travel - check it out. They staff teachers all over the world in missionary postings, allowing you to raise your own support. You can "SEE A NEED and FILL A NEED", too.
