This is a very clearcall for us to be involved with the safe keeping of orphans and widows. Whether that be through our ownworks, through partnership or both!It's no secret that over the past several years the Philippines has had many challenging issues specificallydue to the organized crime, corruption and migration of refugees from all over Asia. This has created abreeding ground for injustice against children.

This has created a breeding ground for injustice against children. Everyday there are tens of thousands of children who are subject to human trafficking, gang slavery, extreme poverty, abandonment and risk of death. We have been blessed to have relationship with an amazing organization named Expect Hope who is currently working in the nation of Albania with some of the most at risk children in the country.

  Every child deserves to feel seen, celebrated, and loved, especially on their birthday. This month, we invite you to join us in bringing joy to the children in our care across Nepal, Albania, the Philippines, and Mexico. Many of these children have been rescued from life on the streets, and in many cases, their exact birthdates are unknown. Because of this, we come together each year to host a joyful, unforgettable birthday celebration at every one of our centers. These celebrations are more than just a party, they are a moment of belonging, dignity, and happiness. Each child will receive a special birthday meal, a thoughtful gift, and, of course, a birthday cake to share with their friends. Whether or not you sponsor a child, you can still be part of making this day truly special. Your support helps create lasting memories for children who deserve to be celebrated. Join us in making every child feel like the most important person in the room, because on this day, they are.
