One Act Garapon

This shows the different experiences of different people. They told us
how their experiences changed them. They shared their past to let
people know that there will always be hope for everyone. Some people
look down on us but what matters is how you'll keep your faith that
you are not what they tell you. What's important is how we see
ourselves.
When the darkness of object poverty engulfs a place, the devil takes
over. But in the middle of desperation, you can intervene.
Grandparents often play a vital role in the lives of their
grandchildren. With a love that equals that of the parents,
they strive to give their apos everything they can offer
despite their frail health or limited resources. Garapon by
Jollibee is a story that shows how a grandmothers sets aside
any amount she can just to give her grandson something that
would make him happy.

One act, one decision in Jesus name, is all it takes to allow hope to
overwhelm the darkness. One act can save a life.
Give - Touching Story of Selfless Love and Legacy
A street cat named Bob
Based on the international selling book. The true feel good
story of how james Bowen, a busken and a recovering drug
addict had his life transformed when he met a stray ginger
cat.

The story is about a poor father and a young son. The son hates his father for
not being successful and he never views him as an inspiration. In hope that he
would not become like his father, he studied hard until his teens which won
him a scholarship.

After getting a job, the son refused to come back home to at least meet his
father again. After some time, the father passes away without his son in his
side. The son felt a slight bit of guilt and came home. He began checking out
some items that belonged to his late father and found multiple slips of paper
thanking for their kind donations. The son visited the organization where the
letters were coming from.

The son then met a disabled person who told him about the wonderful
things his father did. His father was selfless and is always willing to help others
without repayment. He spent most of his time helping other disabled kids who
were in an orphanage, giving them hope and joy. Because of this, on his
father's birthday, the son did what his father did and dressed up as a clown to
give joy to the kids. Implying that being rich is not about what you have but
how much you give.
