on "About CYDFI Philippines on CYDFI: The
Reason for Being" who apparently got some help
to continue his education learned to value the
opportunity life had to offer despite some
insurmountable challenges he encountered in his
pursuit to have a better future in life. Some of the
principles generated from his story may be
emulated by the CYDFI Scholars to ascertain
their success and have a meaningful life.The
Foundation claims to demonstrate and gives
connotation to each layer of the spiral feature of
the shell as necessary ingredients of principles
to nourish the youth become a healthy person in
mind and spirit.
