The kid identified as Ornelo with a real name of Don Don Sinagmayon inspired the online community after donating “kamote” at a community pantry amid poverty. He and his family showed compassion towards the needy despite their situation.

John visited Ornelo again to inform him that “Kilusang Nagmamalasakit sa Lalawigan executive committee” pledged a full scholarship for him from elementary until college. Don Don is dreaming to become a teacher someday.

After hearing the good news, Sinagmayon donated another set of sweet potatoes at Occidental Mindoro Community Pantry in wheels. Their crops came from their own farm and prepared it for the needy ones.

According to the kid’s neighbor, Ornelo is truly a kind and generous child. Don Don’s mother also rely on him while his dad and brother is working.

“Isang napakagandang balita.

I never imagined that this project would be this life-changing kaya thank you so much sa mga nagshare ng kwento ni Ornelo (Hindi pala Cornelo) o Don Don Sinagmayon (totoo niyang pangalan)

Muli namin silang pinuntahan para ipaalam na ang buong Kilusang Nagmamalasakit sa Lalawigan executive committee ay nagpledge na ng full scholarship mula elementary hanggang college para sa kanya.

Masaya daw siya at matutupad na ang pangarap niyang maging ‘sir’ o guro.

Nakakatuwa pa dahil muli silang nagbigay ng mga kamote para sa Occidental Mindoro Community Pantry na Ngayon ay On Wheels na. Nalaman namin sa nanay niyang si ate Marialyn na galing daw ito sa kanilang taniman at hinanda daw talaga nila ito para ibigay.

Ayon naman sa kanilang kapitbahay, mabuting bata daw talaga si Don Don at kahit sila ay binibigyan nito ng kamote o mga huli nitong isda galing sa ilog. Siya rin daw ang naaasahan ng nanay niya sa bahay nila habang nagtratrabaho ang kuya at papa niya lalo na noong nagkasakit ito matapos ma-ceasarean.

Sana po ay magbunga pa ng mas maraming biyaya ang mga proyektong katulad ng aming community pantry hindi lang dito kun’di sa buong bansa.

Maraming salamat po sa pamunuan ng Kilusang Nagmamalasakit sa Lalawigan para sa pagtulong sa kanya.

At syempre, ang pagkilala at pasasalamat sa iyo, Ornelo. Dahil sa mura mong edad ay naparealize mo sa marami na kayang kaya nilang gumawa ng mabuti para sa kapwa sa munti nilang pamamaraan. Mabuhay ka and I can’t wait na makita kang isa nang ganap na guro sa hinaharap.

Marami pa pong mga nagpapahatid ng tulong at makakaasa po kayong makakarating ito sa kanilang pamilya. ”
