Goducate Guava Soap helps poor kid
Khen is the 14th child out of 16 children. He had just graduated from our Goducate learning center (Day care).
After graduation he suffered fungal infection in his arm. His family wants him to see the doctor, yet did not have the resources for the financial needs,, they sought for alternative healing (herbal method- in different ways), until one of our Goducate teacher recommended the use of our Guava soap.
Water Boiled from Guava leaves are commonly used to treat – newly circumcise patient) commonly believe it heals the wounds faster..
Before Khen could use up his second soap bought by her mother Linda (who is one of Goducate’s ALS student), the infection had been dried slowly. No other medicine had been used.

Beginning of Goducate model farm, Laguna Philippines
A few days ago, our team of workers struck good cool water when we dug a 30 meter deep well in our model farm in Laguna, Philippines (2 hours south of Manila airport).
Yesterday, the first load of building materials were delivered to build the little farm house. There is an urgency to get things going before the rainy season starts and hinders construction.
A kind donor has donated a vehicle for transportation of farm goods. And another donor has donated funds for a shredder to shred the decaying vegetation needed for the production of organic fertilizer (by our hard-working earthworms – through the process of vermi-composting.)
We hope to have the farm ready to produce vegetables for our Goducate workers’ families soon. More importantly, Goducate staff will be teaching the poor in the communities where we serve to produce vegetables for their families. Excess fertilizer and farm produce will be sold.The funds from these will help to fund Goducate work in Laguna.
Goducate believes that scientific, small-scale, sustainable farming will be a useful means to help poor Asians help themselves.
Therefore this little farm is a simple but vital link in our plan to help the poor to help themselves.
