For the past several weeks in January Bacon had experienced extraordinary downpour of rains which was forcasted to extend to February.
The strangeness with the weather is the unusual cold spell that goes with the rains. People are blaming global warming. Physical health is also affected specially the elderly and the poor.
It appears that the global economic crisis with the rising costs of living had a very adverse effect in Bacon. There is an apparent increase in poverty among the Bacongnons. This was so obvious during the Christmas season when poor people with their kids came to the house begging for anything I could give them. I had to share with those destitute families the budget intended for The Indigent kids Project. I had successfully destributed on Christmas the cash money of P25,573, food stuff, used clothes, school supplies, candies, soap, etc. which all came from kind and generous donors in the U.S. I already sent the report accompanied with receipts signed by the children and their parents, to U.S. Coordinator Rene J. Dellosa.
Poverty is real and increasing and getting worse and the Indigent Kids Project which is now on its 7th year needs to be expanded.
I am hoping that readers of this report will be moved to help or donate anything in the present fund raising intended for the school opening this coming June.
