Testimony
Jasmine Flores, Punlaan student
“I remember before, it was just a dream of mine to study in a culinary school, because I'm aware that my parents are not capable of financing my education due to poverty, that's why I thought of taking another course instead that time. But I know deep in my heart that culinary is what I really wanted. The only thing I could do that time is to pray and I did, I told God that his will be done. Then suddenly, Punlaan came into my life. That's why now it's no longer a dream, because I'm living in it today and it will not be possible without your initiative to help me.”
