In 2014 as I turned 40, friends approached me about having a special celebration for my milestone birthday. A special day was in store for me indeed. The special day that I chose was to spend the day at an orphanage in Metro Manila. My friends joined me for a day of food, gifts, games, dental program and fun with the nearly 40 young orphan children at that orphanage.

​

 

This moment changed my life. Each of the next six years after that day I organized the charity program became a yearly birthday charity event with the help of my families, friends and supporters providing special day for families and children in remote locations of the Philippines and other countries I visited. Those days are filled with Christmas gifts, school supplies, bible, food, street libraries and medical help, that gives a little enjoyment and CARE for those families.

​

 

Ecares not only plans to continue the annual outreach programs but expand into more locations to include both nutrition, health care and literacy assistance and I will continue to garner support from families, friends and supporters in providing assistance to the less fortunate children and families.
