A delegation of the One Heart Association visited the Philippines this week and met with a number of stakeholders for the Duyan ni Maria orphanage. The start of construction is imminent as the architect — who is managing the works at no cost to the project on behalf of Duyan ni Maria — awaits the connection of water and electricity to the site. The architect has refuses to receive any official recognition for the generous work he his doing for the sisters and the orphans. We pray that God grants further blessings upon him for this generous contribution.
The delegation also met with the Angeles University Foundation, who are expecting to receive the latest 40-foot container of hospital equipment from both the recently closed Swan District hospital in Midland and Hollywood Private Hospital in Nedlands. To our surprise, as a result of their great generosity, they have pledged to help with the completion of the orphanage, including providing new furniture for the project.
We also met with the donor of the land for the orphanage, who very kindly donated the land (along with his brother and family in the US). We hope that the Monsignor will provide a role model for the boys as they grow up. We also met with Dr Bustos of the new Our Lady of Mt Carmel Medical Centre in Clark, who has pledged his services for looking after the health of the children in the new orphanage.
We wish to thank Norm and Lyn Bernard for their hospitality this week, in housing and feeding us etc and for providing a driver and vehicle to take us wherever we needed to go.
The visit has been very rewarding spiritually for the delegation as they have seen the great generosity of spirit of many Filipino people and organisations. We pray that they Lord may bless them and look kindly upon them.
