Give A Gift That Lasts

Thousands of children and families across the Philippines are celebrating Christmas and the New Year with the joy of knowing someone somewhere cares for them very deeply.

The child-focused nonprofit World Vision has been instrumental in making this happen through its child sponsorship program, where everyone has the opportunity to give a gift that lasts, hope. Sponsor a child now: https://www.worldvision.org.ph/gift-hope-sponsor-a-child/sponsor-now/

As an added highlight, World Vision National Director Dr. Harvey Q. Carpio shared the strong success of the organization’s recent Noche Buena campaign.

“Noche Buena is more than food on the table, it is the warmth of family, the joy of children’s laughter, and the reminder that hope is best shared together. For World Vision, this celebration is also a symbol of our hope for every child: that they may experience love, dignity, and the joy of Christmas, no matter their circumstance,” said Dr. Carpio.

Wrap A Little Magic

The last quarter of 2025 has been particularly busy for Kuya Rey Bufi, a kwentista, a storyteller, who travelled to different communities to share his book “Saan-Saan” with children.

“Saan-Saan is very close to my heart because it carries my personal advocacy of encouraging children to read. My dream has always been for every child to hold a book that can take them to places they’ve never been and spark their imagination. This story is a gentle reminder that reading can open doors to endless adventures,” shared Kuya Rey.

He said that when people asked him who the book is for, his answer was clear that it is for children who have never held a storybook in their hands, for Filipino kids who have little to no access to stories, and for those in far-flung communities across the country.

“But of course,” he added, “this can also be a gift to any child who longs for adventure. For just 300 pesos, you can gift a child the joy of imagination and the adventure of reading. May this story help them dream and imagine bigger worlds for themselves.”
