The story behind the journal "This Journal will Actually change Someone's Life"

**Designing this Journal take months of sleepless nights …**

Think about this … would it be nice if you could buy stuff that is super useful to you and equally helpful to other as well?

A group of volunteers are selling exactly that! A yearly planner entitled ” This Journal Will Actually Change Someone’s Life”

**Ms. Judy Jamolangue is a Volunteer Marketing and Creative Director of Freespeech Publications. She is a business woman and a Filipino School teacher by profession**

**Daniel is a Volunteer Graphic Artist in Lifeline and a professional graphic artist as well in Makati City.**

It started as a suicide hotline and from then on, expanded to helping others through medical missions, teaching street children and other activities.

Just a short trivia I got from them: Did you know that suicide rates in the Philippines go up usually during the BER months (September-December) for the reason that a lot of Filipinos feel more alone on this season?

So back to the story, as the foundation and the beneficiaries grew exponentially, Lifeline Foundation then searched for something to sustain and support the overflowing needs and not just rely on donations. And then…the planner was born!

It was a great idea from their directors who have seen various kinds of planners in the market from their travels abroad.

Hesitant at first, they only produced a thousand copies of the planner and unexpectedly sold out even before the year ended. It’s a good problem to have as the say …

A journal with a mission: To change life one day at a time. Nice! Just like Kuya Daniel Razon’s Slogan, “Ang paggawa ng mabuti, Kahit Isang Araw Lang” (Doing good even just for one day)

The money earned from each journal that is sold will go straight to schools, medical missions, and patients that the foundation is supporting.

So how exactly does it differ from other journals? “This journal will actually change someone’s life.”
