Sapatos Project - Year 3



THE SAPATOS PROJECT

In 2010, the members of the Quality Team in one of the BPO companies in Pampanga were inspired to celebrate their Christmas Party in one of the orphanages in Angeles City. When the idea came about, the quality specialists and experts got so excited that they were able to raise funds in a short span of time and provide for the computer package and school needs of the kids in the institution.

Since then, the activity became an annual event of sharing, giving and paying it forward to the different institutions in Pampanga.
• Children’s Home of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, Balibago, Angeles City – 2010
• Elders’ Home, Bahay Pag-ibig, San Fernando, Pampanga – 2011
• Children’s Home of Eucharistic Love and Kindness, Telabastagan, San Fernando, Pampanga - 2012
• Duyan ni Maria, Malabanias, Angeles City – 2012, 2013 and 2014

In 2012 when the group was planning for this activity, the 60 kids from Duyan ni Maria shared their need and simple dream of having a new pair of black shoes for the incoming academic year. Making this dream a reality brought the group so much joy that it ignited a deep passion to serve these kids… giving birth to this project.


DUYAN NI MARIA
Situated in Malabanias Road, Angeles City, the institution is a home to 60 kids, ages ranging from less than one year to 20 years old, who were abandoned, neglected and maltreated by their families and relatives. “Duyan” not only provides shelter and home care but it ensures that the kids will have a brighter future by supporting their education from elementary until college, through the assistance of different benefactors.
