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:

PUSONG PINOY'S TYPHOON HAIYAN/YOLANDA DISASTER RELIEF PROJECT

Typhoon Yolanda is the strongest typhoon in the world this year. Our thoughts and prayers goes out to all the people affected by this devastating storm. Please pray for them and their families especially to those who lost their lives. May they rest in peace.

Days before Typhoon Yolanda hit the Philippines, Pusong Pinoy launched its Christmas project hoping to bring cheer to 5,000 disadvantaged children and 350 families this coming holiday season. As we value our promise to provide slippers to each child and food items to the families that have nothing to eat on Christmas Day, we are committed to see this project through.

To all our amazing HEROES who have pledged their support in any endeavor we choose to take for the typhoon victims, Pusong Pinoy will help!  We are in the planning stage of our relief operations, making sure that like every project we've done in the past, 100% of your donations will reach its intended recipients. 

Whether you channel your donation through PUSONG PINOY or not, please make sure that you do your due diligence and choose a reputable organization that thrives on transparency and accountability to ensure that 100% of your donations go to its intended recipients.  Thanks for caring!
