It’s been several difficult years since Nov. 8, 2013, when the Philippines braved the strongest storm ever recorded, and took the brunt of Typhoon Haiyan, the deadliest Philippine typhoon to date. As the typhoon swept through Samar, Leyte, Cebu, Capiz, Negros and Northern Iloilo, it left in its wake 6,300 dead, and cities such as Tacloban in a brittle heap. According to reports, an estimated 16 million people were affected by Typhoon Haiyan, 4.1 million people were displaced, and 1.1 million houses were damaged after the devastation. Rebuilding the cities, especially Tacloban, and helping the communities bounce back from such devastation was a challenge. It was a difficult task, but not an impossible one for the Philippine Red Cross (PRC). Approaching Haiyan’s third anniversary, the Philippine Red Cross proudly shares its progress. Health Sector

For us Moms, it is clear to us that good education forms the basic foundation for a child’s eventual future, which is why this time of the year causes a lot of anxiety for us when it comes to choosing a school for our children. With the new K-12 program now firmly in place, some schools are better equipped to deal with this overhaul in the educational system.   You want a school that prioritizes not only a child’s welfare and education but one that keeps up with the ever-evolving theories that involve learning. Hope Christian High School (HCHS) has been a leader in primary and secondary education for the youth for the past 70 years.  The school prepared for the K-12 transition way in advance. Advisers were assigned to ensure that the students are on the right track. Teachers are well trained in the new curriculum but are also vigilant when something needs to be adjusted or revised.

The cost of education today is no joke. An ordinary family with an ample earnings can only sustain everyday needs from food to shelter. Education sometimes are not a priority perhaps because it's really hard and expensive to send children to school.

Personalized gifts are more sweet and extra special. Why? Because you know the person who give it exert more time and effort in preparing the present. I've been married for more than three years now but I can count with one hand the number of times I bought material gift for my husband. Every time I would try to get something for him on special occasion, he would notice my efforts and immediately tell me not to buy anymore.

However, a couple of weeks ago, I found an interestingly sweet treat I thought perfect as a gift or token. How To Get Your Personalized Nutella Jar
