Quote
from German poet Rainier Maria Rilke:
"I want to beg you as much as I can...to be patient toward all that is unresolved
in your heart, and to try to love the questions themselves...
"Do not now seek answers which cannot be given to you because you would
not be able to answer them.
"And the point is to live everything. Live the questions now.
Perhaps you will then gradually, without noticing it, live along some distant
day into the answer...take whatever comes with great trust, and if only
it comes out of your own innermost being, take it upon yourself and hate
nothing." |

ABOUT
US
 WHAT
DOES CARTWHEEL BELIEVE?
We
believe that education and economic development are essential to
the future of communities in our country, and specifically to the
future of children and families who live there. Communities therefore
are the key arenas in which the battle to improve education and
enhance economic development will be won or lost.

WHAT
IS CARTWHEEL'S MISSION?
One of our guiding principles is the U.N.
Convention on the Rights of the Child which clearly states
the right of every child to quality basic education. It is our
mission to protect this right.
- Our
primary goal is to bring education where it's needed mostin
the Philippines. We target areas with lowest literacy rates,
thus, our pilot project in Region 10, Mindanao. We aim to
increase literacy rates by establishing schools and training
teachers for young children, supporting scholars through
High School and College, and providing adults with opportunities
to become literate and gain skills to achieve economic growth
and prosperity.
- Our
support programs are all designed to provide educational
opportunities for the individuals and communities we serve.
Among these are a feeding program, a community-based literacy
and creative arts program, livelihood programs for farmers
(in partnership with other organizations and corporations).
Of the support programs mentioned above, however, only the
feeding program is currently operational.
