How Do We Increase Our Impact?
With every milestone reached, new questions arise. For me, the most daunting part of reaching a peak is the fear of what comes next — of whether the momentum will continue or begin to fade.
2025 was a landmark year for POGI. After more than a decade of sowing seeds and tireless labor, we are finally seeing the harvest: lives in India, the Philippines and the Middle East transformed through education; scholars stepping into universities and careers; and Phase 1 of our Philippine center and school nearing completion. We closed the year with a celebration that truly honored this remarkable journey.
But, what’s next? How do we maintain this momentum? How do we sustain the growth we fought so hard to achieve? How do we increase our impact even more?
While I don’t have all the answers, one word continues to anchor us: trust.
We will continue to do what we can with what we have—sharing our vision, supporting those in need and expanding our reach—while trusting that God will faithfully provide everything needed for the work ahead.
Thank you for believing in this mission and for investing in the next generation, especially those who are the most vulnerable and living on the margins.
This year, we invite you to partner with us through several exciting initiatives:
Jazz Cafes: Intimate local gatherings, with a potential expansion to Seattle
Our Inaugural Fun Run: A new opportunity to move together for the cause
The Year-End Gala: Our signature celebration of impact and community
Beyond these events, we invite you to consider becoming a monthly donor. Your consistent support allows us to plan ahead and continue providing life-changing opportunities for those we serve around the world.
With gratitude,
