For this orphanage, Ivory soap is a big help
If you are looking for a beneficiary of your kindness this Christmas season and beyond, you may wish to consider the Heart of Mary Villa (HOMV) managed by Good Shepherd nuns in the Philippines and established in 1957.
HOMV is not only an orphanage. It is also a halfway house for unwed mothers. Their Mission Statement reads, “Heart of Mary Villa offers compassionate and dynamic care to women pregnant outside of marriage and to surrendered and abandoned children waiting for their families.”
According to HOMV’s Directress Sister Lorenza Sangalang, there is a shortfall of donations compared with the actual operational expenses that they incur regularly. Following is HOMV’s wish list for donations in kind:
1) Milk – Bonamil, Bonakid (1-3 yrs old)
2) Diaper – EQ brand, size M, L, XL
3) Ivory soap
4) Baby shampoo
The above items can easily be mailed via LBC or balikbayan box. Please send the items to Sister Lorenza Sangalang, HOMV Directress at the following address:
1043 Aurora Boulevard
