The veteran journalist has changed the life of Charlie when he offered him scholarship under Project Malasakit.
"I met Charlie Charlie Bravo RCrim in 2014 when we did the I-Witness documentary “Pulot-pukyutan”. The docu featured the life of child laborers in Abra. Charlie and his brother Edrian would climb trees and risk being stung by honeybees just to harvest honey. They used the money that they got from selling honey for school allowance. Project Malasakit by Kara David took them in as scholars," says David.

Patuloy kang pagpalain ni Lord at naway marami ka pang matulungan In Jesus Name ...
I admire Ms. Kara David. Despite being a niece of very political priest bishop david. Mas pinili ni Ms. Kara na hindi makigulo sa usaping pulitika at ipagpatuloy nalang ang pagbalita ng mga istoryang hindi madalas napapansin at ipagpatuloy nalang ang pagtulong. Dapat siya nalang yong naging pari🤣
