... you can't help helping yourself!
Friends and batchmates from DLSU, I think this is an interesting 'social-responsibility' venture.

Br. Armin urges Lasallians to promote“culture of giving”
“More than raising a seemingly too idealistic an amount such as fresh
funds of P1 billion for endowment funds for scholarship, the most
important target here is to involve in this BIG project, small people,”
says DLSU-Manila and DLSP President Br. Armin Luistro FSC as he
invites all members of the Lasallian community to support DLSP’s
scholarship fund campaign.
The One La Salle Scholarship Endowment Fund aims to raise P1 billion by 2011 to provide full scholarships to at least 20% of the population in each of the 18 De La Salle schools in the Philippines.
According to Br. Armin, one major component of the program is to identify 100,000 stakeholders who will commit themselves to give either P5,000 once, P1,000 on their birthdays for the next five years, P1,000 monthly for the next five years, or P2.74 everyday until the centennial celebration in 2011. All members of the Lasallian community are encouraged to take part in this worthwhile endeavor.
“It is a very small amount, a small change that can determine the future of a young Filipino who has no access to quality education,” elaborates Br. Armin. “Here, Lasallians will leave behind a legacy for future generations of Filipinos.” Br. Armin also shares that this project underscores one of the important messages from the Plenary Council of the Philippines 2 that is, “No one is so poor that s/he has nothing to give and no one is so rich as s/he has nothing to receive.” Asked what his message to DLSU Manila alumni is, he enthuses, “this time, we are not asking the alumni to help put up buildings and facilities. This time, we call on the young people to carry on the torch of leadership in our country and bring back hope for the future.”
