A nation free from hunger and poverty, built through personal social responsibility and collaborative partnerships.
Negrense Volunteers for Change (NVC) Foundation, Inc. was established in August 2010 in Bacolod City, Philippines by private citizens who believe that by pooling the energies, resources, talents, and skills of individuals, we can bring about a better future for Filipinos.
We harness the power of private citizens to create positive and lasting change in their communities, towns and cities, and our country.
“Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has.” –Margaret Mead, Anthropologist

We believe…
in the power of the ordinary person to effect positive and powerful change
that every person is born with a mission, and each singular step is useful and important
that a single dedicated person, no matter what his or her situation may be, can make positive and lasting change in the community
that strength comes from individuals working together towards a common vision
in forging partnerships and alliances as a vehicle to strengthen the power of the individual
that the poor and underprivileged must find meaning and hope beyond their daily livelihood and trade
in helping the people and communities we serve to help themselves and in harnessing their power to become partners in the building of our nation

Traditional love stories are usually about a couple who make a 1 + 1 = 1 story of oneness despite many differences. NVC Foundation’s love story however involves multiple parties.
It goes back to a dozen years ago when a small group of friends banded together, hoping to create meaningful change in little ways by harnessing the power of the ordinary person. We did not aim to do great things, but we found ourselves, as in the words of Mother Teresa, doing little things with great love.
This is our annual diary and thank you card to all those who walked our journey with us, and our invitation card to those who wish to know more about us and perhaps, to join our future journeys. This is not our story. Rather, it is a story of the power of human love from the hearts of the NVC team, its volunteers, donors and partners, fueled by God’s powerful LOVE.
May you see love in every story we share. And may you, as we always do, thank our faithful God for allowing us to plant seeds of hope and receive a bountiful harvest of love.
