Last Saturday, we went to Suba, in Barangay Pasil for Bisdak Central’s small feeding and gift-giving program. Bisdak Central, an online site for Cebuanos and Visayans, was created by my high school classmate, Vince aka bytebandit. For the group’s first outreach project, we chose the Missionaries of Charity in Pasil. Missionaries of Charity is a small orphanage which houses sick children who were either abandoned or were personally taken there by their parents.
When we arrived at the orphanage, we were met by the kids who happily sang ‘Happy Welcome to You’. They looked really excited as they helped us bring our stuff inside. The kids were very adorable. They were very courteous and friendly and most of them opened up easily.

It was an early day for all of us. We woke up early to prepare the food and drinks at sir Ice’s house.
Everyone helped! Thanks to everyone who came!
Packing the kids’ lunch.
By 8:00 am, we were done packing and we were ready to go.
We arrived at the orphanage 30 minutes later. We brought some gifts for the kids as well as a sack of rice, some canned goods, and fruits.
The welcome board gives you a quick look at the mission and work of Missionaries of Charity.

After the prayer, the BC members were asked to pick a kid to interview. After a few minutes, the BC members each then talked about the kids that they picked.

After the sharing and introduction, the kids were then given new shirts, shorts, underwear, and slippers. Here’s Sir Wali and little Gabriel.
It’s changing time!
Let’s put your shorts on, little man!
Smile for the camera!

Then, it was time to eat.
Everyone was already hungry (including the BC members. LOL)
One big bite!
Nyum!
Juice, please!
After lunch, we played a few fun games.
The kids were so eager to participate.
Are you ready?

It was a really wonderful and touching experience. I’m glad that despite the numerous delays, we were able to finally do it last Saturday. Good job, everyone! Let’s do this again soon!
very heartwarming photos, ley! i wish to do that in the future. you guys are inspiring. God bless your kind hearts.
hehe. thanks mam cielo
Nice to know, their are people like you guys,who are doing kind and generosity to less fortunate kids. More power to Bisdak Central Outreach Project.
Watching you guys preparing and planning to see those children warms my heart.Saying it is one thing but doing it…is the one that counts.I know what is like growing up with nothing.So, to all those people who are lucky enough to live abroad… send something cos every little thing helps.There’s a lot of honest charity group out there that really need some help…Good on you guys for doing it…I hope you guys realise that what you did means a lot to those kids…there’s a saying that kids will never forget…
God bless you, guys! It’s way to go! You made those little kids very happy. Don’t let it be the last one, they need good people like you.
Weee.. Tenks lan for covering and supporting us sa BC Outreach Project.. It was surely successful.. This just goes to show that we bisdak’s are not just best online but we’re also better offline by extending ourselves to the very unit of our community- para sa atong mga kabataan.. More power kanato tanan mga bisdak sa bisan asa nga eskina sa kalibutan.. From BC-admin..

Hi, we’re looking for a place to spend the first birthday of our baby girl and we would like to have a birthday party in an orphanage place. Where did you book this event? Who is the contact person and do you have a contact number?
Thank you.
i don’t have the contact number but the name of the place is Missionaries of Charity. you can go directly to the place to arrange an event. the place is in pasil. you can ask the traysikad drivers how to get there.
Slingan mana namu isa ka girl. kana taga OPRRA. Wala lang ko kaela niya. 🙂
