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.
