My family, together with Rotary Pasay Cybercity, visited and donated food, school supplies, toiletries, toys, and more to St. Francis Learning Center Foundation, Inc. in Sitio Nibangon, Barangay Mangan-Vaca, Subic last Oct 1, 2023.

Special thanks to our donors! My kind-hearted friends, relatives, and customers of Cafe Carnival, Carnival Food Club, and Cholate. We love you.

St. Francis Learning Center Foundation, Inc. is a charitable school for the displaced Aetas in Zambales managed by the Franciscan Sisters of the Immaculate Conception.

The school, which doubles as a dorm, currently teaches 165 kids aged 5 to 16 years old.

I brought my son Nico with us because I wanted to expose him to these kinds of things. My parents would always involve us when they’re doing charity work and it really opened my eyes to how fortunate we really are. I want Nico to learn early that we should share our blessings to those in need.

Sharing our blessings with less fortunate kids is not just an act of kindness but it also creates a big impact on society. When we extend a helping hand, we not only provide the essentials like food, shelter, and education, but we also offer hope and a sense of belonging. By ensuring that these children have access to resources and opportunities, we invest in the future, nurturing the potential for them to become productive members of society. Moreover, such acts of generosity foster empathy, compassion, and a sense of social responsibility in the giver. When we share our blessings with those in need, we contribute to building a more equitable and compassionate world, where every child has the chance to realize their dreams and break the cycle of poverty.

If you wish to donate, you may message them on their official Facebook page.

P.S. Special thanks to my mama and papa for teaching us how to be selfless. This is something that I really want to share with Nico.
