December 29, 2007… St. Peter Batch 2000 of University of the Assumption, San Fernando Pampanga held its annual charity program at Duyan ni Maria (Mary’s Cradle) Orphanage in Hensonville, Angeles City. For three consecutive years, our class visited and distributed goods to Bahay Pag-ibig foundation at Holy Angel Village, City of San Fernando Pampanga. We decided it’s time to give joy to kids so our beneficiary for the year 2007 was the Duyan ni Maria Orphanage.
Our program started at 3 in the afternoon. The kids were gathered and seated properly first before we began our little program. We conducted games and gave away prizes. Midway, we distributed foods packed in Styrofoam containing spaghetti and sandwiches, and juices. Afterwards we proceeded with the games. We also gave them school supplies for highschool and college students, diapers for the infants and toys for the kids. We also donated used clothes. Hopefully, next year we would be able to collect more money for our next charity program.
The foundation is headed by Sis. Ma. Alessandria Casas. With financial assistance of Sis. Casas’ friend, the foundation houses and takes care of 54 kids, 11 infants and 11 houseparents. Occasionally, they receive donations from different organizations. Duyan ni Maria started as a shelter for abused women and their children. Later on, they also supported abandoned children. Now, the foundation also sends the kids to school. They have 7 pre-school kids, 18 on elementary level, 12 highschool and 8 in college level.

Hi Mariko. My name is Gay Galura-Scott. I’ve been going to Duyan Ni Maria everyday during the week as a volunteer tutoring the kids with their school work and helping Sister Alexis in any way I can. I just created a brochure for Duyan Ni Maria which I can e-mail to you if you want. Kindly send me your e-mail address. You can e-mail me at ligayatg@yahoo.com. I’ll be celebrating my birthday at Duyan Ni Maria this Sunday, March 2nd. I can send you more photos if you want. I’m really glad to hear about your willingnes to help. They need a lot of things so it’s really so easy to help them. They need all the help they can get, most especially with cash donations. Thank you so much for your intent to help. God bless your heart.
Hello Gay,

Thanks to your webiste, it paved the way in connecting with generous donors like Mariko and Jeffrey Platts. Mariko and I actually met here in Angeles City when she visited from Japan. Jeffrey Platts and his friends from Australia worked with me in sponsoring the education of one of the kids at Duyan. Great networking, all because of your website! Thank you very much!
Thank you so much Ms. Gay, I’m glad this article paved way to help the kids at Duyan. I greatly appreciate the effort you made in providing the address and contact no. of the orphanage. I’m looking forward to visit the foundation again, I surely miss the kids out there. God bless! =)

Hi Gay
I have just sent you an email and I am hoping that you have received it. I am part of a charity group in Australia called Seconds to Give and we collect good quality second hand clothing, toys and linen and send them to the impoverished villages in the Philippines. Mostly our work is in the rural villages of Iloilo as that is where we have personal contacts. This year in November we are aiming to distribute goods to over 1600 people from three villages.
We are coming to Angeles City for a few days prior to this and thought that we might be able to support in some way the children at Duyan Ni Maria. I am hoping that you respond to my email and that we can organise to visit and hopefully distribute clothing and toys to the children there.
Would this be of interest there?
I very much look forward to your reply as we have to get organised at this end to be able to make it happen.
Thanks again for your wonderful work.
I am sorry. I am not really chatroom savvy and I did not put my name in the space provided. I am the person who signed in as Hi Gay. My name is Pam and I live in Melbourne Australia.
I hope that our organisation http://www.secondstogive.org will be able to assist this very worthy cause.
I will hopefully hear from you soon.
Hi, my brother would like to adopt a baby. I would like to know if he can go there directly in your orphanage to adopt a child. What are the requirements. He is an OFW. Please inform me of the details on how to adopt a child preferably an infant from your orphanage. Thank you
Good Afternoon. My husband and I are married for almost 7 years. We are not bless with a child up to now. We are now planning to adopt a child since we really wanted to have a child already. We want to have baby girl to start with. How can we do the process of adopting?
Thanks.
Hi joy and raquel, it’s great to hear that you’ve considered Duyan Ni Maria as your choice to adopt a child. Unfortunately, I’m not in the position to tell you if you can adopt a child at Duyan. Actually, I’ve just been at Duyan once and I failed to come to our charity program last year.
You can contact this number at Duyan ni Maria for your inquiries. Cell Phone: 09202313411
Thanks and God bless! =)
