2. Breaking the Cycle of Poverty<br />
Cycle of Poverty is assumed <strong>to</strong> be<br />
broken when the scholar has passed<br />
through Phase 1 and Phase 2 of the<br />
<strong>CYDF</strong>I Scholarship Program and<br />
becomes productive immediately after<br />
college education in about 8-10 years.<br />
This is the key turning point when<br />
Scholarship Program is propelled<br />
<strong>to</strong>wards self-sustainability, thus:<br />
“Towards Growth/Development in the<br />
Community”.<br />
Breaking of the Cycle of Poverty<br />
becomes then a consequence of the<br />
success of the methodology implemented<br />
among the youth in the community. It is<br />
a proactive approach <strong>to</strong>wards addressing<br />
the issue of abject poverty where youths<br />
are empowered <strong>to</strong> help them help themselves<br />
so they can help others as they<br />
learn <strong>to</strong> become socially responsible.<br />

As youth develops his full potential <strong>to</strong><br />
become the best of what he is capable of being<br />
and becoming, he gains inner strength and<br />
develops the value of being a socially responsible<br />
being. As he enjoys the rhythm of good and<br />
productive life, he shares something back <strong>to</strong> the<br />
community through the Foundation of helping<br />
incoming new scholars. The continuous loop of<br />
“ripple effect” of the Scholarship Program will<br />
sustain the motion forward and <strong>to</strong>wards breaking<br />
the cycle of poverty not only <strong>to</strong> the youth but <strong>to</strong><br />
the community.<br />

3. Community Growth and Development<br />
When a <strong>CYDF</strong>I Scholar has been through a<br />
“WITHIN” Process, s/he will eventually move on <strong>to</strong><br />
continue <strong>to</strong> follow the path <strong>to</strong>wards carrying the <strong>to</strong>rch<br />
of the “Crusade Against Abject Poverty in Philippine<br />
Rural Areas”, in which case when this is done on a<br />
continuous loop basis, the effect can be felt in the<br />
community because the “Spiral With Ripple Effect<br />
Motion” of the <strong>CYDF</strong>I Methodology (SWREM<br />
Theory In Action) will start steaming its own power<br />
and energy and able <strong>to</strong> propel itself. This will happen<br />
when “<strong>CYDF</strong>I Scholars” will begin “fulfilling” their<br />
“Contract” <strong>to</strong> help, at least one or two, new incoming<br />
scholars of the Foundation. When they are done<br />
fulfilling their “Contract”, any financial help coming<br />
from them becomes “voluntary” in nature. So, they<br />
become “Crusaders” voluntarily. Hopefully, they will<br />
continue <strong>to</strong> join, then, the “Crusade Against Abject<br />
Poverty In The Philippine Rural Areas” and share it<br />
with other communities like a chain reaction.<br />

When the Scholarship<br />
Program of the Foundation<br />
has reached its<br />
momentum, the community<br />
will feel the “ripple<br />
effect” of growth<br />
coming from within.<br />
The community will<br />
feel empowered and <strong>to</strong><br />
be self-empowered.
