Batch30: Good Samaritan

LogoWhiteOnBlack_edited.jpg

Hi guys! How's everyone doing?

 

Last time, we went to visit an orphanage in Pasig and it was our first time carrying it out to the orphans. Experiencing their smiles, giggles and becoming superheroes! Click HERE in case you haven't seen it.

​

As we mark our 30th outreach, we carried our journey to Good Samaritan Nursing Home in Marikina. Another first for 1in3out to share our lives with the elderlies. As many of them needs to be assisted in feeding, bathing, taking up their meds and so much more. Creating meaningful connections with children and elderlies was a heartwarming experience. Encouraging the younglings to share their enthusiasm and curiosity, while the oldies offer a wealth of stories and life's best advice.

When we hear the word nursing home, a disheartening truth emerges, stories of abandonment and neglect within the facility. This interview seeks to spark awareness and drive change as we work towards creating a brighter, more compassionate future for those who reside in these crucial care facilities.

Batch39: Mobile Distribution VII (Christmas Edition)

This year’s Christmas Mobile Distribution took us to Araneta Avenue where a fair amount of homeless calls the sidewalks and medians their home. Connecting Quezon City and San Juan, the avenue is known for the many funeral home businesses that are set up in its 5km stretch. Visible are the less-fortunate individuals and families who set up their carts, tarps and cardboards providing them makeshift walls and roofs. The Metro Manila Skyway Stage 3 covers the entire avenue providing them shade from the tropical sun and keeping them dry from the monsoon rain. At nightfall, the skyway provides bright lights in select areas of the street giving safety and security to those who calls the avenue their home.

​

A tradition we started last year, the second installment of the night time version of our Mobile Distribution features the colorful Christmas decorations, lights and parol (Filipino Christmas lantern) of the neighborhood. At the same time, highlighting the condition of the homeless population of the Philippines as they try to celebrate Christmas and New Year despite their usual daily struggles. We stopped by several spots to bring Christmas joy through burgers and juice to some who has yet to eat dinner. Or perhaps those having their first meal of the day. What we take for granted could be the highlight of their day. And maybe for a night, they can go to sleep not starving.

​

As we end 2024, we would like to thank everyone who has contributed to the success of 1in3out. The donors and sponsors who funded every outreach. The volunteers who spent their Sundays spreading joy. To everyone who has supported and believed in everything we did. MARAMING SALAMAT PO! We have big plans for 2025… stay tuned!

​

Maligayang pasko at manigong baong taon!
