Towards A Self-Sustainable Scholarship Project Model, With Implications Not Only
To Personal But Community Growth and Development in Calantas & Nabuclod
Any project established to become dependent on resources other than that what it is capable of sustaining
itself  is not going to last to see its  mission accomplished. The Project Model has been established  to
eventually sustain its own operation by seeking to employ a methodology designed  to support its own
growth and development. The concept is based upon the "
spiral feature of the shell", in which a "spiral
ripple effect" impression can be viewed from its different layers. It is this understanding that SWREM, as a
term, is coined to mean as "
spiral with ripple effect motion" and is adopted to be a key concept for the
Scholarship Project Model of the Community Youth Leadership and Empowerment Program of the Calantas
Young Dreamers Foundation, Inc. Thus, the birth of a theory, the SWREM Theory!
discern their meanings on how they relate to you as a person to enable you see
and feel the splendor and glory that life has to offer, that all these things are
created to nourish your mind and body
. And when that happens, consider
yourself from among the blessed and be worthy to give thanks and glory to the
Creator of the Universe, for all times. This, indeed, is the Miracle of Life in the
secular world, in that man needs to learn to see things
thru the eyes of his heart
that the world is
created to nourish his body and soul and not him, for the world.

For the world is created for man (secularization) and not man, for the world
(secularism). For when you see life through your heart, you will feel the warmth
and tenderness that nature brings and could whisper a prayer ", Thank you,
Lord, for I am alive and kicking" and has given me a chance to enjoy my life to
the fullest, as you intended it to be, so that I could honor and praise you, for all
times to come".

The height of creation is for man to be the center of universe, for he is created
in the image and likeness of his Creator where his dignity as a human being is
derived from. If only each human being recognizes this truth, humanity can live
in peace and harmony, brothers among brothers, nations among nations of the
world. More bridges, instead of walls, could be built to link each others' shores.

No wonder, God so loved the world...but man keeps shying away. But, man is
endowed with intellect to know the difference between doing good for others or
otherwise. It is innate in man's nature to learn to take care of each other, with
respect and dignity, towards the fullness of his life. Whether he makes a choice
to be of "
other-centered" or "not", he has the right to exercise his freedom"
because God created man
, not only with intellect but freewill, as well. It is this
noble truth that
CYDF is inspired to respond to God's Call of Love to man and
his humanity thru Acts of Charity to others in need and become "other-centered".
As applied to program services, the concept becomes  "SWREM Theory In
Action
", paving the way to guide the direction and mission of CYDFI. It serves
as an engine, making the Scholarship Project Model run and grow into fullness
of maturity with implications  not only to personal but community growth and
development in Calantas and Nabuclod Aeta Community in Floridablanca,
Pampanga, Philippines.

In this model, a CYDFI scholar shall fulfill a
commitment made at the onset
of the scholarship to sponsor at least one or two new incoming scholars  when
done with schooling from high school to college in about 8-10 years and on the
assumption that he gets gainfully employed. This shall be done on a continuous
spiral loop basis. The Scholarship Project Model of  the Foundation will start
producing positive results that would lead to opening more scholarship slots to
new qualified applicants, thus paving the way for a self-sustaining Scholarship
Project. The

SWREM Theory In Action indicates a comprehensive view on the concept of
SWREM Theory In Action
, designed to do the Mission Work of the Foundation.

"When people share with magnanimity and care to share even of what little or
meager resources they have because they care, a wonder is taking place. It is
like a miracle. For the miracle of life takes place in nature, being unfolded
seamlessly right in front of our very own naked eyes. But often times, we don't
seem to see it because we don't know how to recognize it. If only you knew
how to open up your heart with the beauty and glory that nature brings, you will
see and experience its splendor and glory. And when that happens, consider
yourself from among the blessed for you will enjoy the beauty and splendor that
nature brings. For when you see life through your heart, you feel its warmth and
tenderness. For nature serves, too, as humanity's best teacher. You just need to
see things through and explore the hidden treasure of knowledge and wisdom,
The youths are the future
of the motherland.
