Hospicio de San Jose

A month before Bela turned 1, we received a great news from Bela’s Cardiologist - the hole in heart is already close. And so as our Thanksgiving to God for taking care of Bela and for all the blessings that He continually showered upon us, we decided to celebrate Bela’s 1st birthday with the orphans at Missionaries of Charity in Tayuman.

Howell and I promised that we would try to do this every year as a way of passing forward and sharing to others the blessings that we have been receiving. And so for Bela’s second birthday, we decided to celebrate it this time with the orphans at Hospicio de San Jose. It’s the orphanage at the Ayala Bridge, near SM Manila.

We will celebrate Bela’s birthday there on November 16 (this is Bela’s exact birth date) at 3-5 PM. Food and games will be provided by Jollibee (which reminds me I have to book a party package with them). Of course, Jollibee will be there to celebrate with the kids.

For all my blogging friends, you are welcome to join us for Bela’s special day with the kids. And I’m also shamelessly asking for any donations that you can give to the kids, sort of your advance Christmas gift for them. :-)

Below is the list of things that you can donate:

• Milk & Milo
• Biscuits & Cookies
• Cereals and Oatmeals
• Diaper
• Old & new clothes
• Toiletries (soap, toothbrush, toothpaste, face towel, etc)

They don’t prefer toys as they already have a lot of toy donations. I can get your donations when we meet up on November 11 for our christmas party.

Thanks in advance mga sisters.
