Help give a HUGE smile to these kids!
FEED THE TRIBAL MANYGAN FAMILIES - even during the best of times; food is scarce; help them with a gift of food! A mere $15 will feed 5 people for 5 days! What an impact for so...little!
Your donation will help feed starving people, support children that have been abused, orphaned, abandoned or neglected. You can help us to bring malnourished children from a state of near death to full health and provide a water play area for our children.
In 1999, New Zealander, David Cowie, visited Eastern Samar in the Philippines and during a visit to a local hospital, he came across a boy named Ruel. Ruel’s small, emaciated body lay on a simple steel bed in an under-staffed and under-resourced facility. His face was scarred by a double cleft lip and palate, causing serious difficulty in swallowing. With his tiny body wracked with viruses and infections, Ruel was near to death. With the help of locals, Ruel received the food supplements needed to sustain his life, whilst David raised the necessary funds for Ruel’s surgery. Ruel represents hundreds of thousands of forgotten and unwanted children who need help. In 2006, Pauline Curtis-Smith started an orphanage and a home for malnourished children in Oriental Mindoro. This was extended to a second home on Romblon island in 2017 and a third home in Sorsogon in 2020.
Feeding the Hungry!
We provide food parcels for the Mangyan tribal people of Oriental Mindoro. These families are so very poor, their average income is only $80 per month , which is insufficient to provide their children with basic food. We love to travel up to the tribes, whenever funds allow, to provide food and encouragement for these tribal people.
- We care for severely malnourished children, like the before and after photo of one of our children to the left, who are often on the brink of death. They go through our nutritional feeding program and are then returned home to their families with additional food, milk powder, vitamins, clothing and a blanket. They are carefully monitored for at least one year after completing the program.
Our 57 children have been in lockdown for 10 months, they haven't been able to venture outside our gates to play, exercise or enjoy any recreational activities. The Philippines is extremely hot and it is difficult to keep them well exercised and entertained. They are bored, hot, lacking in exercise and feeling very caged in. A water play area and playground equipment would be so....amazing!
