My name is Donato and I was born here in Smokey Mountain in Balut, Tondo, Manila.
I think I could say that this is one of the less privileged communities in Metro Manila.
Growing up in this place was very challenging because opportunity for growth is very seldom.
Most of the youth today, if they encounter small, little challenges, they easily give up.
Some of the reach college level but they were not able to finish it because of lack of financial
capability and then they got married at a very young age.
What they do now for a living is they sometimes get garbage they recycle it and then they
sell those things that are sellable.
When I was young, I grew up in Smokey Mountain.
I had to scavenge because of the poverty.
Those kind of livings they are everyday work to be able for them to survive their everyday needs.
So because of that, they cannot afford to send their children to school.
Before entering college, I thought that I would only be able to finish high school because
of the insufficient resources.
YWAM has this ministry of sponsorship.
So, they give opportunities to less privledged youth to continue their studies and reach
their dreams.
The poverty can be prevented if the children has their education from elementary and then
continues to high school and up to college.
If they finish college, they could be able to get a job.
Because of sponsorship, it really pushed me to study hard.
Because, I don't want the opportunity they have given me to be put to waste.
So currently, I am working at a bank.
Right now I am currently supporting my family's needs because I am the only one who works,
in our family.
And was able to send my brother in school and he was able to graduate as well.
During our time in college ministry, I saw the changes that this could be a tremendous
time for all these young people.
That they could be able to go to school, finish college, and to break the chain of poverty.
Aside from supporting financially in school, they also help me to mold my spiritual personality.
So they nurture the Word of God, that has been planted in my heart.
And then because of that, I was able to develop my personal relationship with God.
I was able to get closer to Him.
God gave us a heart to teach them about Jesus and disciple them and for them to really know
Christ while serving Children's Feeding Program, and their College Ministry.
College students are coming here to help with the activities here.
Their involvement is through teaching bible stories, and praise and worship songs.
Preparing the food and then Feeding Program.
So thats why it's a heart to serve our own people in Smokey Mountain.
So if it weren't for them and God's grace, I think I wouldn't be here where I am right now.
