Bound by Compassion

Our Project PEARLS team and Pasa LOVE team are joining forces this Saturday, July 31 to feed 200+ underprivileged children in Pantal, Dagupan City.  This Feeding Program is held every Saturday morning.

Bound by compassion and faith, our teams are ready, willing and able to serve! Go Project PEARLS! Go Pasa Love! Let Go, Let God!!!

When was the last time we had a meaningful "TGIF"?

Let's all have a meaningful TGIF with them this coming Friday.

"Bailey" Villanueva: Another Kind Soul

Project PEARLS have received over 200 bags as donations to be given to our children; our volunteers distributed these bags in Bulacan, Caloocan, Guimaras.

What is so amazing and so touching is the trust that this anonymous donor aka "Bailey" has given us.  We are truly blessed, honored and humbled.

Thank you Sir Bailey!!!  :)

A 2nd Birthday for a Cause

Cathy, our dedicated Project PEARLS angel celebrated and honor her daughter's 2nd birthday by sharing their blessings to the less fortunate children in their neighborhood in Bulacan.  They prepared spaghetti for a hundred children.  How very special and priceless is that?

Happy Birthday Andi!! And Cathy, thank you very, very much! You are an inspiration!!!

Thank you to Cathy's family too for always supporting and helping her and Project PEARLS!!!

If this won't make you think, feel and act, I don't know what else ?

This is Buboy, a 4 year old scavenger at "Smokey Mountain".  He managed to collect some plastic spoons and cups and planned to sell for few cents.

But his older brother, Alvin stole them from him!  Buboy not only cried but wailed endlessly for Alvin to return his collection.  But Alvin sold it for 3 pesos. 

Buboy is just one of the many children living in these dumpsites sifting through garbage and exchange their collection in junk shops for a few pesos.  You think they will buy a small toy or a candy for the small change they earned, but no... they rather help their families buy the essential needs to survive like rice and dried fish. And to many of these young children, they were forced by their parents to sift through garbage and come home with some cash rather sending them to school. 

We can all make a difference in young their lives.  Please help us with this Mission Not So Impossible! 

Eat, Pray, Love: The Project PEARLS & PASA LOVE Way!

Our heartfelt gratitude to our PASA LOVE family for a very successful and rewarding Feed the Children Program.  These dedicated, God-sent volunteers always go beyond the call of duty; not only they fed more than 200 children, but they also did the cooking, entertaining, cleaning-up and most of all praying with the kids!  THANK YOU!!! To see these children eating, praying and loving is just overwhelming and it feels they are all embracing our hearts!

Thank you so much again PASA LOVE for always bringing the church to these children and families!

And They Shall Be Fed...

Starting this Saturday,  these kids and almost 200 more will be fed with a hearty meal every Saturday. These kids live at Pantal, a highly populated squatter/slum area in Dagupan City.

This is the Feed the Children Program of Project PEARLS and Pasa LOVE!

Feed The Children: Another Joint Ministry with Pasa Love

After a very rewarding and successful School Supplies Program, Project PEARLS and Pasa Love will be partnering again, this time to feed the children in Pantal, a very populated slum area in Dagupan City, Pangasinan.

Every Saturday, the team of Pasa Love goes to Pantal to do their children's ministry called D'KIDS (Destiny Kids) and spend a very quality time with these less fortunate children.  They pray,  read bible stories, teach them, sing, play, do arts and crafts and other values formation activities and feed them.

Project PEARLS pledged to help Pasa Love in feeding these children.  We are anticipating to feed up to 200 children every Saturday.

Please partner with us too. We can all make a difference.

You can help our Feed The Children program by sending a secure online donation today.

THANK YOU!

Mission Not So Impossible!

I must spread the word.  I must raise the awareness. I must help. Please watch and hopefully you too can spread the word, raise the awareness, and HELP! 

Guimaras: Our Last Stop for our School Supplies Program

We concluded our school supplies program in Guimaras, Iloilo! Thank you to our dedicated volunteers, Nonoy and Mon for going all the way to Guimaras.

Again, thank you to everyone who supported Project Pearls! Without your support and trust, we couldn't make this School Supplies Program possible!  

Touched by Angels

God works in mysterious ways through family, friends, strangers and angels.  And Project PEARLS are touched by these angels from PASA LOVE -  a group of young volunteers whose ministry is to bring the church to the people.

These angels not only touched my life personally but they also validate our own humble mission of helping these underprivileged children in the Philippines.

I am featuring excerpts from their recent blogs:

Angel Israel Tarlit: PEARLS are for KIDS not PIGS

We never expected the connection we will make because of PASA LOVE. We just wanted to be a blessing to our community so we decided to bring the church to the people. We didn’t know that there would be people out there who are just as passionate as we are in serving the people in the communities especially the kids.  What’s so surprising is that helping people especially kids know no boundaries or denominations.  It’s simply an issue of desire to help and partnering with people of the same passion and purpose.

Reaching the people in the community is hard work and can be expensive.  But despite this enormous challenge, God only wants to see our hearts and the He open doors for us to accomplish reaching the underprivileged people.  And this is where Project PEARLS found us.  It’s humbling to note that THEY found US.  Project PEARLS is a personal ministry devoted to uplifting the children’s lives by giving them PEARLS: Peace, Education, Aspiration, Respect, Love, & Smiles. It’s a ministry born out of deep conviction that children deserves something better other than poverty. 

Angel Jonathan Tamondong: Project Pearls shares Blessings to Pasa Love

The distribution of the school supplies to the children of Pantal, Dagupan City on June 12, 2010 was successful. These school supplies were given by the Project Pearls through the headship of Mrs. Melissa Villa-Willcox and her daughter Francesca. The Project Pearls’ primary goal is to help underprivileged children in the Philippines to have a better life by giving them PEACE, EDUCATION, ASPIRATION, RESPECT, LOVE, SMILE.

Angel Nikka Ilumin: The STORY behind the STORY

As we go on in reaching our community, God gave us a right tool to expand our capabilities in reaching our community that is blogging. Blogging help us to spread the good news and His words.  Because of Ptr. Ysae’s article “Efren not Eddie will change this nation“, Pasa love met Project Pearls ; Pasa Love met Servolution.  Project Pearls has also the desire and passion to help the community especially the underprivileged children.

Angel Orville Barba: The Girl Who Drew My Face in an Old Magazine’s Cover

The sun was up and I needed to step inside the office to make sure that the name tags, budget, and other necessary things to bring was visible in my sight. I felt an exceptional feeling that day due to the fact that we will be partnering with Project Pearls in distributing school supplies to the poor and needy children of Pantal area. In case you are not aware about Pantal, this is one of Dagupan City’s highly populated squatter areas. After a few minutes of waiting for the volunteers to come for the rocket to launch, I’ve already dressed myself with our uniform and looked at the faces of every member of the team to find someone to be featured on this article. And the quest for the perfect one lasted for an hour until I decided to talk to someone with a very colorful testimony.  But before that, here’s the scenario of the successful operation.

And to all other PASA LOVE Angels, THANK YOU!
