Lingap Children's Foundation

Founded by John Drake, this organization puts 100% of the money donated towards helping children in the Phillipines that are in the absolute most desparate situations. We have had John at our church to give presentations, and anyone who has heard him talk knows that he is absolutely dedicated to helping these children. He has moved mountains and it is our priviledge to be able to help the efforts of this organization. More information at their website.
