One of them comes from a woman named Carol, from Bacolod City, who gathers food scraps to feed her pigs, who are not actually hers but are owned by neighbors. She earns from her share of the profit after the pigs are fattened and sold.
Six months ago, Carol’s situation changed because a donor had asked Negrense Volunteers for Change Foundation for a list of 10 people who may need pedicabs. Carol’s name was on that list. The act to pay it forward creates a ripple effect. It sets off a wave of kindness that always improves the situation of another stranger.
Teresa had been baking pizza, bibingka, cassava cake and macaroons in a makeshift oven in a space where the family also eats and sleeps. Her oven was an aluminum pan on a stove top covered by a wash pan. She kneaded the dough on top of a plastic sheet on a small table that functions as the dining, study, and kitchen table.
Incidentally, Teresa’s new kitchen was “inaugurated” just in time for the feast of St. Honoré, the patron of bakers, on May 16.We learned that Teresa has informed NVC that she will set aside part of her profits to spread the kindness shown to her by a complete stranger who wants to remain anonymous. Soon, Teresa said she will pay it forward.
