Education has been at the heart of Aspire to Dream since the beginning. And we know how hard it can be to finish school, but coupled with the added burden of a disability, and it suddenly gets a lot more difficult.

It's customary in the United States to get new notebooks, backpacks and even new uniforms each school year. However, in in the Philippines, it was a luxury that many could not afford.

We are honored to be the hands and feet in the body of Christ.
