Sylvia dela Cruz Hemery heard and responded with enthusiasm to that distinct and constant whisper… reach out the children and youth in need in the Philippines.

At the dawn of the millennium, the International Friends Educational Foundation was registered at the Securities and Exchange Commission of the Philippines, as a non-profit organization the purpose of which is to become an expression of collective consciousness with two-fold missions:

·      To provide not only financial assistance to the indigent children and youth of the Philippines who are interested to finish their studies but mostly to inspire in their young hearts and minds the core values in life.

·      To offer an opportunity or a venue to those kind-hearted and generous people who want to give back but could not do it personally.
