TESTIMONIALS

Juan Diego Salinas, Donor

Andalucia, Spain

"I highly recommend and trust Life Xtenders, Inc. and the people who manage it. I work as an International coach, visited 60 countries and have collaborated with volunteers and NGOs in America, Africa and Asia. This includes Nody and Rhea who I met in The Philippines in 2012 and then contacted to lead our help after the Typhoon Haiyan in 2013 (can read more of it in http://www.coachingairlines.com/tu-eres-sueno-y-ellos-son-duenos-de-nuevo/). Their support, humanity, professional skills, thoroughness facilitated enormously that our small help from Spain and other countries were 100% reflected in the real needs of the Filipino people. I will always appreciate it and will recommend them as NGO experts. As a proof, here is my personal email juandiego@coachingairlines.com."

"I had the opportunity to volunteer and serve the Philippine country in 2014 shortly after hurricane Yolanda had hit. Getting to work with Life Xtenders was such a privilege. The group we worked with was wonderful and everyone had the same mindset that we weren't there for us, but for those in need. Through the transportation and overall organization, I was very impressed by how the mission was ran. So efficient. We were able to successfully accomplish what we needed in the trips we had and also had the time to interact and love on others. How amazing this experience was for me! Having the opportunity to meet and help others who were so brave and strong for all that they went through, I was honored to be welcomed into such a beautiful community. Although the people had been stripped from Yolanda of all they had, whatever they did have, they shared with us. I am in awe and in high respect to the Philippine people for their strong interdependence and how they share with others rather that just their own people. I would do this trip all over again! The fact that I would get to be a part of giving others help in meeting their needs makes me want to return again. Overall an insightful experience and humbling experience that I wouldn't trade for anything. Thank you to the Philippine people for welcoming us and allowing us to see their world and help in whatever way they would receive. Thank you to Life Xtenders for giving me this opportunity to serve others in need."

"Sin-o ang magdumdum nga pagkatapos sadtong makahalalit nga bagyo, ang Yolanda, mabalik pa sa normal ang amon pangabuhi diri sa pulo? Didto namon napamatud-an nga madamo pa gid man gali sang tawo nga naga-ulikid sa iya isigkapareho. Puno sang kabalaka ang amon pinsar. Diin kami maumpisa? Paano kami kaumpisa? Makabangon pa bala kami sa pihak sang natabo? Mga palamangkutanon nga amat-amat nasabat sang mag-abot ang bulig pagkatapos sang halos isa pa ka semana. Mga pagkaon, bayo, tubig kag iban pa nga mga gamit. Madamo kag nagkalain-lain nga mga ngalan ang amon nabatian nga amo ang ginhalinan sadtong bulig. Nabulong ang amon gutom nga mga tiyan, apang mabatyagan sa gihapon namon ang tuman nga kabudlay labi nagid sa ti-on sang pagpahuway nga halos wala ka sang mapasilungan. Maswerte ang may bilin nga parte sang balay tungod bisan paano may proteksyon sa init kag tugnaw. Apang halos kalabanan sa amon diri sa isla wasak gid ang kabalayan. Makasaho ka man kag indi, pilit nga ginabaton namon ang amon sitwasyon. Sa wala namon ginapaabot nga ti-on, may mas dako nga grasya nga nagapadulong. Pila ka adlaw ang nagligad, natawag sa akon ang amon mentor sa Peer Helping Skills, si manang Rhea Peñaflor, nga ang ila grupo, Life Extenders, magahatag sang materials para sa pagpakay-o sang bisan simple, apang pwede na tawgon nga paluy-an. Puno gid kami sang kalipay. Una nga ginhatagan ang Sitio Botlog nga may 51 ka pamilya. Luwas sa mga gamit para sa pag-ubra sang balay, madamo man sila sang pagkaon kag bayo nga ginhatag. Tungod ila nakita nga sa iban nga bahin sang Barangay Tambaliza may mga pamilya pa nga pareho man ang sitwasyon, wala sang pangduha-duha nga nagdesisyon nga dugangan ang ila bulig. Diri sa Proper A- Singan sang amon barangay, lubos naman ang kalipay sang 30 pa ka pamilya. Ang pagkamahinatagon sang grupo sang Life Extenders amo ang naghatag sa amon ideya kon paano umpisahan nga matindog liwat ang amon mga pamalay. Nagtinguha ang tanan nga makaubra sang mapasilungan tungod nahatagan kami sang kabakud nga manikasog sa pagbangon sa pihak sang amon naagum. Dako gid ang amon pasalamat nga magluwas sa aton gobyerno, may ara pa sang nagabatyag kaluoy sa mga nakaagum sini nga sitwasyon. Mabudlay man ang amon naagyan, apang nangin mahapos para sa amon ang mga masunod nga buluhaton tungod isa ang Life Xtenders nga naghatag kasanag kag kabakud sa mga nadulaan kusog namon nga balatyagon."

Quoting Jamie Lee Evans to NVHS: “Our group cannot thank you enough for your compassion, hospitality, kindness, generosity and true exchange. We loved your singing, your dancing, your food and learned so much from your loving and connected way of living. You help us to ask important questions of Americans. How much do we need? Are we giving and sharing every chance we can? Are we building community across the generations that will truly allow for sustainable social change and harmonious living? We were in awe of your programs, your talents, your skills, your abundance of love and community. We will take what you have shared with us and do our part in the US to pass on and pay forward your many gifts. Indeed, it was a fun-filled and meaningful two days of cultural exchange, friendship and camaraderie. This experience has touched me in ways I can’t describe. It was not only an exchange of culture; it was also an exchange and sharing of passion—to help when we can, to whoever we can regardless of race, sex and creed.”
