Students Bank
In 1993, Randy and Carol Smith
opened up Little P.I. Video &
Supply Shop, a Filipino store
renting out movies, selling
grocery items and CD's, items
mostly geared towards Filipinos.
Randy and Carol put out a jar
marked "Students' Piggy Bank"
wherein customers would drop a
nickel to donate to the students
being sent to college through
the couple. These students were
talented children of farmers,
domestic helpers or jobless
residents of Tarlac City or
government employees' children
who stopped their education due
to lack of funds. They are also
remarkable members of the
Community, helping out the
"Barangays" during calamities.
Carol also place a nickel in the
jar for every movie rented out
of the store.
In 1996, when they sold the
store to finance their eldest
daughter's law school, the
couple started out
Roscon Foundation as a
non-profit
organization. By that time, each
fund donated to the Foundation
went directly to the students in
Tarlac City.
