No one has ever become poor by giving. Share some love this time!

“A Bagful of Sunshine Project

I Love Pinoy will be accepting relief donations from August 21 to 22, 2013 for the flood – stricken families in Metro Manila and Rizal.

About I Love Pinoy:

I Love Pinoy started in 2009. It was an individual effort which blossomed to what it is now since a lot of people were inspired in volunteering and spreading love. Its’ main goal are the following:

1. Love and respect oneself
2. Give and share love to everyone
3. Love the environment
4. Love our own history, arts and culture
5. Love our own country

Love is a universal language and it cannot be defined or be limited to only one meaning that’s why I Love Pinoy does not believe in ‘exclusivity or membership’ since we want more people to be affected, to give and to spread love.
