PUSONG PINOY VISITED "SHIP" CHILDREN'S RECOVERY UNIT

**FACES OF THE CHILDREN HAVE BEEN BLURRED TO PROTECT THEIR IDENTITY**

 

Pusong Pinoy sails off to visit SHIP!
 

On November 4, 2013, Pusong Pinoy team and volunteers visited SAFE HARBOR INTERNATIONAL PHILIPPINES (SHIP) Foundation, a non-profit children’s home located in Baguio City.  It is DSWD-accredited orphanage and recovery facility for severely-ill children.  SHIP cares for neglected, abused, abandoned, and orphaned children.  During this visit, there were 30 children living at the home - orphans, infants, and young children suffering from leukemia, lupus, intestinal hernia, congenital heart disease and other medical conditions.

 

Pusong Pinoy brought groceries, multivitamins, school supplies, arts & craft materials and storybooks.  The children were also treated with a special meal of cake, spaghetti, hotdog, juice, and pizza.  The children were ecstatic!  It was indeed a party, as the little angels ran around, laughed and played with the volunteers. The school supplies, arts & crafts materials and storybooks are invaluable resources which will enable the kids to enhance their reading and creative skills.

MARISSA DE LA PENA, SHIP Baguio Coordinator, is doing a terrific job of ensuring that the children are provided with physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual nourishment that they need. Neglected infants who arrived at the home are now happily thriving and some have started attending school.  On the other hand, the sick children, although not orphaned, stay in the home to receive the proper monitoring and medical attention which their parents cannot provide due to lack of resources and/or they live very far in the Cordillera.

Pusong Pinoy extends its heartfelt gratitude to our HEROES for their contributions to SHIP as follows:
