I am a proud member of the Medical Class of 1985 of the University of the East Ramon Magsaysay (UERM) located in Quezon City, Philippines. We are aware that more than half of the Filipinos live below the poverty line. We wanted to be a part of the solution. Our Class has been involved in various charitable causes in the past few years like caring for an orphanage and streetchildren in the Philippines, building houses for the less fortunate and tuition scholarships for poor deserving medical students. To get a glimpse of these projects, please visit this site . A house can be built for as little as $ 1000. In cooperation with the UERM Alumni Foundation USA Inc, we have put up a UERM Medical Class of 1985 Restricted Fund so we can request for financial donations. I am personally asking for your help to fund these worthy endeavors. Your contributions are tax deductible since the United States IRS has considered the Foundation to be a public charity. To learn more about the foundation, please visit the UERM Alumni Foundation website. Any amount of donation from you will be highly appreciated.

Sincerely Yours,
