ST. AGNES' ACADEMY

Port city of southern Luzon, Legaspi hugs

the hills that shield the bustling town fromMount Mayon - crowned by the world's most

perfect volcanic cone. Past eruptions caused

loss of life and spread fertile layers of ash.

Today rice, corn, and sugarcane pattern theland. Cane cutters, field workers and un-

skilled laborers struggle in vain to providethe basic needs of life with their share of

the profits, trickling down to them inextremely small amounts.

Kindergartners met for classes in 1912, and sparked thefounding of St. Agnes' Academy. World War II halted studies and

scattered students in search of safety. Liberation in 1945 sent

enrollments spinning and triggered rapid expansion. Today's

streamlined buildings house the preschool, primary, and high

school departments, chapel, library, and laboratories. Campusgardeners raise crops of beans, eggplant, potatoes and fruit tohelp fill the bowls at dinner time. A special shed houses thepigs that provide amusement for playground-bound youngsters andmeat for holiday meals.

Early each weekday boys and girls salute the flag, then

troop into their classrooms for a morning of math, science,

language, and history. Matching its vigorous teaching program

with vital physical care, St Agnes' Academy accords primepriority to its most pressing problem - malnutrition.

Nourishing plentiful midday meals team with medical check-

ups and modern vaccines for vigorous health and vitality.

Song, prayer, and Bible classes enrich the youngsters'spiritual lives.

Work and play mingle on campus after classes are over

for the day. Girls sweep and tidy the classrooms - then turn

to their sewing and embroidery projects. Boys garden, groom

the grounds, and feed and water the pigs. In St. Agnes'preschool section, lively 4-year-olds put finishing touchesto small works of art - then spill onto the playgrounds for

a spirited round of open air fun. Swings fly high; seesaws

creak. Folk dancing, softball and badminton complete theday in a whirl of varied activities.

Returning to the darkness of their humble homes at

night, the youngsters carry exciting new knowledge, practi-

cal skills, and the warmth of knowing that someone cares.

Your love and concern are circling the globe, guiding your

child toward a future free from hunger and want in the

modern island nation he will help shape.

Please accept our appreciation for your help in givingthis child a life to look forward to. Write us without hesi-

tation if there is anything we can do to make your sponsor-ship more warm and personal.

Sponsors often develop close ties with the child they help, andsometimes find it hard to transfer their love from one child to another.

And yet the whole purpose of the CCF program is to give a youngster a

chance to grow up in an atmosphere of love. Since the child you have

been sponsoring has received this chance--then hard as it may be--Ihope you will want to help another child.

Enclosed you will find a picture and information about the child

who has been assigned to you. I am hoping that you will accept this

assignment, and give this youngster the same opportunities you gavethe other child.

Thank you so much for all you are doing to help the children wholook to us for love and care.

P.S. Your account number will

remain the same, so you may usethe account card you now have to

make your next payment. Subsequent

receipts will show the new child'sname and number.

Dear Sponsors:

4489-98559Agnas Abalon 390863/250St. Agnes Academy

I am writing you on behalf of the child you are now sponsoring,Agnes Abalon.

My job as Field Supervisor is two-fold: first to see that thechild receives maximum help from your generosity, and then to helpyou become acquainted with the youngster.

This is why I want to encourage you to correspond with the child.By exchanging letters, you build a person-to-person relationship thatcan be a vital factor in the youngster's development.

Of course, children are not born letter writars and CCF childrenwrite only in response to your letters. But all of your correspondencewill be answered by the child. (Project workers or family membershelp children who are unabie to write.)

You may write as often as you like. Some sponsors write as muchas once a month, and some do not wish to write at all. I personallyfeel that you. and the child both will benefit from communicating witheach other, so here are a few suggestions:

To begin with, please remember that. international mail is oftenslow in arriving, so you should allow several weeks for an exchangeof letters.

Second, you might tell the child something about yourself, yourwork, your family, your hobbies, holidays, celebrations. The childwill enjoy snapshots of you and your family.

Page 2

Third, ask the child a few specific questions -- about

studies in school, games and hobbies, best friends. A "who,"

"what," "when," "where," or "how" question from you gives

the child something to write about. (Avoid "why" questions --

they're hard to answer!)

Then, after the first few letters, you'll be able to

focus mostly on the child's inter~s~s rather than your own.When you mirror a child's interest, you show you care about

the youngster.

And finally, if you have any questions about the CCF

program or the child you sponsor, don't hesitate to writedirectly to me. I'll consult your child's case worker and

see that your questions are fully answered.

Again, on behalf of the child, thanks so much.

Sincerely yours,
