Dear Partners and Friends,

May this new year brings you more blessings, good tidings of health, peace and happiness to you and your family!

As we start 2022, I wanted to reach out and thank you for your faithfulness in partnering with us in making difference to the children who are significantly deprived of material blessings. Year 2021 was one of a kind in which uncertainties are constantly present, and one of the most challenging era which the poorest and most vulnerable people hardly raged their desperate situations in life.

We are grateful to all that you have done, and as we reflect on 2021, we want you to know that with your help, we reached thousands of children around Greater Manila Area.

Thank you also for supporting our recent campaign this Christmas season! Your kindness and generosity has reached over 600 children through Precious Heritage Christmas Gift-giving to the kids and their families living in the streets; indigent children from informal settling families; and the children selling items and begging around the streets of Metro Manila, Philippines.

So far we were able to…

1. Distribute 200 Christmas food packs on Christmas eve to the street children and families in Greater Manila area

2. Distribute 50 food packs to the indigent children in Parola, Tondo, Manila

3. Distribute 45 food packs to parents of informal settlers in Pier 2, Tondo, Manila

4. Distribute 100 food packs on New Year's eve to the children and families sleeping on the road in Metro Manila area

5. Distribute 100 food packs to the indigent children in Cupang and Higher Ground Antipolo

6. Distribute 100 food packs to Mangyan Tribe and people behind bars in San Jose, Occidental Mindoro

I sincerely thank you also for those who send funds for Christmas and New Year’s Eve celebration of the children in our residential home as well as granting our children's Christmas wishes and provision of the basic needs of our wards.

Our wards were able to visit Quezon City Circle this Christmas and they very much enjoyed the warming beauty of our nature. In addition, they were able to enjoy the carnival rides that are exhillerating. It is their first time since the start of the pandemic that they were able to go out of our facility to enjoy and have fun together. A day for them is like a thousand times full of happiness and laughter. Praise the Lord!

We will surely remember you in our prayers!

I believe that together, we can make a difference in the lives of the less fortunate children in the Philippines. We hope for your continued partnership with us in transforming the lives and shaping the future of the children.

I hope and pray that you enjoyed a wonderfully blessed merry Christmas and prosperous New Year with your loved ones, and that God will grant you a blessed and fruitful 2022 ahead.

Yours sincerely in Christ,

JOEL B. SANTOS
