CHILDREN:
feeding program
We partner with local caterers in the Philippines, where they prepare and cook meals for the schools we sponsor. Generally, we feed the students during the distribution of the school supplies and/or holiday gifts. Whether it is a snack or a full meal, our goal is to bring some relief to the community built upon compassion and love.

COMMUNITY:
"pamasko" (christmas) drive
Inspired by our successful Typhoon Yolanda drive in 2013, our holiday drive was established so that we can give back to the community as a whole. Every year, we collect in-kind donations from our friends and families in the U.S. We accept gently used clothes and shoes, as well as children's books, toys and arts and crafts. The donations are then shipped to the Philippines and distributed during the holiday season. Each student will receive a gift and the adult clothes and shoes are distributed to the teachers and locals.
