As Douglas was crossing a busy street in Manila he witnessed a little girl sleeping on the sidewalk under the hot sun.  His pity for the conditions that the child was forced to live in fueled a passion to make a promise to God and help all he could.  Douglas through his faith attributes everything to Christ which has transformed his heart to build an orphanage for children.

If you head over to the donate page each process is explained in detail.  We are a unique organization in which donors can help choose the direction of the orphanage project.  We do believe that your opinion matters!!!

No.  Non-Board members do not have to attend meetings or vote on issues regarding the organization.  However, for your convenience when you log-in a button will appear on your control panel when an opinion vote is in progress.  Most topics are voted on-line through our website.  If you would like to attend a board meeting please contact us and we would be happy to invite you.

Well, we have several fundraising events that can be viewed on the donate page.  We would need to raise approximately $125,000 to either buy or build a suitable structure with land.  The truth is we can build an orphanage with the bare necessities for $20,000 but we want people to visit us and spend their vacations with us which in turn will help offset the cost of running the orphanage and ultimately help more children.  Once the initial funds are raised we would then need 88 Godparent sponsors who would be willing to donate monthly to help the long term funding for the orphanage.  Please view more information about our God parent sponsors here

We will follow Government child labor laws but the children (under the supervision of an adult) will be required to have ”Jobs” and take ownership of their orphanage.  These experiences are important for teaching children social skills and developing their little minds to become cognitively higher-level thinkers.  Douglas’s philosophy is that, “Sacrifices were made by our members when they donated their time and money, therefore, the children must also learn to (sacrifice) by devoting their time to prayers, studying, and healthy work relationships.  Yes, will have fun activities for the children but our members are entrusting that we will make life changes and we will teach this though our values of education and hard work in a Christian ambiance of morals and values.

Yes, and its free to all donors.  We want people and donors to visit us when the orphanage is built or even when we are constructing the facility/Home.  When you visit us you will be treated as an honored guest and it is truly a life changing experience to see the natural beauty of the Philippines mixed with the sadness of poverty.  It will change your heart and the way you look at life forever…I promise you.

A Board of Directors will be established in the Philippines that will work as a sister board under our Members here in the United States.  Douglas will live in the Philippines, oversee the orphanage and become the Director of the orphanage once built. 

He has been working in the United States with at-risk-children for over 10 years specializing in counseling and rehabilitation for abused children.  Within the past 3 years he has focused on leadership and management as a supervisor for a 24-hour residential treatment facility for children specializing in such issues as anger management, sexualized abuse, reactive detachment disorder, and other clinical disorders that prevent children from living healthy lives.  He is also licensed by the state of Wisconsin as a School Counselor, and has earned a bachelors degree in Communication from the University of Wisconsin—Parkside and a masters degree in Educational Psychology from the University of Wisconsin—Milwaukee.

No.  This is from the heart and currently all staff are voluntary which means your money goes to build the orphanage and not into administrators pockets.  What a great world this is!!!

This is a great question because we know people want money to go towards children and not high paid salaries and administration fees.  Ultimately, YOU will make this decision by voting when the orphanage is complete.  Are estimations are looking at somewhere around $15,000 yearly for an educated Christ centered staff to take care of the children and the orphanage—but again, you will vote on this and Douglas has vowed to make it work even if he is never paid a cent.

All our financial statements are posted on-line and in simple terminology.  Also, all receipts are posted online that show money going in and out of the foundation with complete justification.  When a member signs up, they also, have the choice to choose how much of the money they want donated to the orphanage project and how much put in administration fees.  Members also have the right to request to see bank statements directly from the bank teller’s hands or by mail and these statements will duplicate the financial statements posted on line.  How’s that for credibility!!!

When you sign up as a donor you choose the amount you want to donate to help in administration costs, such as web costs, printing, advertising, etc…  This ranges from a low 5 to 15 percent (Most other organizations are 20 to 85 percent) and as our donors you have total control to make the choice for the money you donate.   How cool is that!!!

First of all, these accounts don’t exist in the United States or when the orphanage is built in the Philippines.  Secondly, all expenses for travel, cars, scooters, or items associated must come from the employee salaries.  This project is from the heart and as we expect the children to sometimes sacrifice so we (the adults) must also.

Yes, we will help you develop a strategy and plan for opening a new orphanage when the time comes.  When the orphanage is built and numbers increase opening a sister orphanage in other regions is embraced.
