    Dr. Jose P. Rizal once said that the "youth is the hope of the
    motherland". His "word" is being unfolded into reality with the
    mission declaration of the Foundation, that is:
    "to empower indigent but deserving talented youth living in abject
    poverty found in Philippine rural areas like Bo.Calantas and
    Nabuclod Aeta Community located in Floridablanca, Pampanga
    through a Scholarship Program Model with a methodology called
    "SWREM Theory In Action" that is designed to help them help
    themselves so they can help incoming scholars leading to breaking
    their cycle of poverty as they learn to become socially responsible
    with implications, not only to personal but community growth and
    development; and, to promote replication advocacy of said Model in
    other communities beginning with Benedicto (formerly known as
    Barrio Stable), another barrio in Floridablanca.

    Our pioneering CYDFI Scholars like Sarah Jane Capuno,  
    Sarah Jane Camullo, Cherry Ann Estrada and Liza Pingul    
    (not in picture) ring the bell of hope for our youth not only    
    in Calantas, Nabuclod and Benedicto but across the rural
    areas in the Philippines. The Scholarship Program Model is   
    like a seed planted in the garden of life where it needs to   
    be nurtured and nourished with our penny of goodness and
    magnanimous support.
(Pls, excuse the engine noise! The meeting was conducted at the Niniko Diesel-Gas Station).
Some Grassroot Efforts of the Foundation to address
Abject Poverty in Philippine Rural Areas through  a
Scholarship Program Model with a potential to
become a self-sustainable program with
SWREM Theory In Action,
as its methodology, thus
positively effecting and affecting community
growth and development in the target communities.
CYDFI is empowering Communities to be self-empowered.
