FAMILIES AND CHILDREN FOR EMPOWERMENT

AND DEVELOPMENT FOUNDATION INC.

August 12, 2009

THE SELECTION PANEL Asia 21 Public Service Award

Warm greetings from FCED Foundation!

I have the honor to formally express our support for the nomination of Gifts and Graces FairTrade Foundation, Inc. for the Asia 21 2009 Public Service Award.

Gifts and Graces has been a major partner of FCED Foundation, Inc. for two years now inproviding livelihood support to about 80 urban poor families distributed in 10barangays in Paco and Pandacan in the city of Manila.

The assistance provided by Gifts and Graces to FCED Foundation and to its programbeneficiaries has brought significant improvements in the lives of these familieswho belong to urban poorest of the poor and do not have a regular source ofincome. Their earnings from their production has enabled them to provide fortheir basic needs, with a significant percentage being able to send their childrento school. At the same time, Gifts and Graces also assist in providing training and

seminars to program beneficiaries to help them become self-sustaining.

With the continued support of Gifts and Graces, we believe that FCED will be able to reachout to more of our families and their children living in the slum areas and help them torebuild their dreams and their lives.

Thank you so much and we wish you success in your programs.

Ms. Teresita L. Silva

President/Executive Director
