December 27, 2008 - It was another Christmas season when Minority Care International aims to raise awareness on the importance of giving made possible through the community outreach project Tools for Schools. This time around, MCI selected a Muslim elementary school situated on Isla Verde, Boulevard as the recipient of Tools for Schools 2008.


Support for Tools for Schools was provided by funds raised by the "Greenville Youth Community," a fund-raising endeavor by young people in Greenville, Texas. The Texas youngsters raised money for their faraway Filipino friends as a way of learning that Christmas is about giving instead of receiving. They chose to give gifts to other young people that they did not know individually, only that they were less fortunate.

Local MCI scholarship recipients also experienced the joy of giving, handing out backpacks to the delighted school children. MCI seized this valuable opportunity to not only give but also to teach those benefiting from scholarships the value of giving while underscoring a key MCI lesson that giving is living and living is giving.
