Introduction and Background 

We Care for He Cares

Mission:​ ​He Cares is committed to caring for homeless, wounded, and vulnerable children in 
Metro Manila, restoring their hope, and helping them to make a meaningful contribution to the 
world.  
 
Background:​ ​He Cares Mission is a Christian non-profit organization that provides spiritual, 
material, and medical support to at least 400 children.​ ​It was founded by Joe Dean Sola and 
his wife in 1996, who are full-time lay missionaries. ​Their foundation reaches several areas in 
Quezon City namely: Agham, Project 6, Looban, Tala, Sauyo, NIA, Forestry and Tandang Sora, 
and Montalban.  
 
The current program of the foundation include a Saturday Feeding Program where about 
400 children from depressed areas of Quezon City gather every weekend and are fed by 
volunteers from He Cares. Another of their most prominent projects includes Back to God, where 
children are brought together and invited to build a personal relationship with Christ through 
regular prayer and worship meetings, and other community-building activities.  
 
The ​rationale ​of our project is that ​we believe that children who belong to 
the most vulnerable sectors of society deserve the opportunity to empower themselves 
through educational pursuits, recreational activities, and community fellowship​. He Cares aims 
“​to be a channel of God's blessing especially to the street children,​" and we believe in the 
same as well.  
 
Our ​primary objective​ was to ​improve the children’s mental proficiency through sports, 
particularly chess, by challenging their problem-solving skills and creative capacity.​ Our other 
objectives include i​ncreasing the children’s level of confidence​ and the​ accessibility to 
educational materials related to the sport.​ From our perspective, our group aimed to ​pay 
forward what we have received and to build long-lasting friendships with the children from 
the foundation.

Program of Action 
 

Calendar of Activities 

The  group  planned  for  all  the  steps  that  had  to  be  taken  before  the  said  event,  most  of 
which  are  revenue  generating  projects.  The  illustration  above shows the timeline of the activities 
executed  by  the  group.  Included  is  the  cancellation  of  the  Tanay  Tour  Package  Deal due to bad 
weathers  in  the  month  of  November.  This  is  to  ensure  the  safety  of  all  possible  clients.  The 
preparation  part  in  November  includes  buying  the  essentials  to  be  given  to  the  children  (i.e. 
chessboards, school supplies, toiletries).   
 

Program 
 
A  prayer  was  recited  at  the  start  of  the  program  and  a  quick  game  of  charades  was 
played  as  an  icebreaker  to  help  introduce  the  members  and  the  children  to  each  other. 
Afterwards,  the  group  discovered  that  the  children  already  knew  the  basics  of  chess  and  could 
play  a  full  game  without  being  instructed.  Only  a  few  of  them  needed  to  be  taught  how  certain 
pieces  could  move.  Alson  Lim,  who  is  the  captain  of  the  UP  Chess  Team  and  spearheaded  the 
coaching  lessons  on  the  day  itself,  then  decided  to  host  a  tournament  instead  with  the  children 
competing against each other. 

2 
 

 
There  was  an  octo-finals,  quarter-finals,  semi-finals,  and  grand  finals.  Throughout  the 
games,  Alson  and  the  rest  of  the  members  observed  and  assisted  all  the  children to ensure that 
no  one  was  left  behind.  The  winning  player  was  given  a Scrabble board, along with a brand new 
chess  board  which  every  child  received.  After the last game, the children ate together along with 
the members of our group.

Reflections 
Introduction 
These reflections serve as the output of much introspection and insight of each individual 
member of the group following our event at the He Cares foundation. As students of a top 
state-university like UP Diliman, we recognize the civic duty that is required of us and see this as 
an opportunity to fulfill such duties. The following reflections details initial thoughts, experiences, 
and takeaways of each member while also detailing the nature of the event and foundation as 
well as the lives of our beneficiaries.  
 
Bacister, Camille 
Kids, they own a huge part of my heart. It seems like there’s an invisible thread that 
connects my heart with the kids. I’ve been volunteering on our church’s Kids Ministry for two 
years now, there we teach children ages 9-12 of the gospel, praise and worship, and teaching 
them how to read the bible. There I encounter kids who are privileged enough to have food on 
their plates, to sleep on a well-ventilated house, to have their parents take care of them, to go to 
school of their choice, to eat whatever they like and dress up in any way they want. But when I 
met the children at He Cares Foundation, I saw the total opposite of the children I used to be 
with. I saw children wearing casual shorts and t-shirts, going to a school in front of the 
foundation, eating whatever food served on them and growing up not with their biological 
parents. But also in there I saw children smiling so genuinely, laughing their hearts out, running 
and playing like they don’t own a single problem. It’s overwhelming in a good way to see them 
smile, play, run and tease each other – how I love to go back and be a kid again. Being with 
them, I saw the importance of investing for the next generation. I saw the need to empower 
them and to let them know that whatever may have happened on them, there’s still a chance and 
a hope for a better life. 
While having the chess tournament at He Cares Foundation, I got the chance to talk to a 
lot of boys in there since I was the one holding the camera, so I was expected to go around the 
tables. All the kid’s stories were all unique and one way or another touching and inspiring. I 
admire the kids’ bravery to face every single day after what happened in their lives. I see in their 
eyes the longingness to family, the joy of meeting new people that they can call “ate” or “kuya”, 
and courage to press on every day. Upon talking to them, I learned that hardship that they went 
through, how they hesitated to go to the foundation because they don’t want to be caged but 
later on realized that in that foundation is a family that will take good care of them and will help 
them grow and survive. I was talking to Dado and there he shared his scary dream then I asked 
him what he did after waking up, he said he prayed to God and there he saw the importance of 
prayer and reading the devotions. I was amazed to hear that from a kid. Truly God doesn’t 
choose people whom He will make himself known. I’m glad I got to talk to them and spend time 
with them, they inspired me more than I inspired them.

Last Thursday, we visited Project 6 and organized a chess tutorial session with the kids 
from He Cares Mission Foundation. There I learned a lot of new things in life which were not 
really evident in a typical classroom environment. 
We began the program with an opening ceremony and prayer before officially starting the 
chess tournament to which, Jhayar emerged as the champion. Then, we had quick parlour games 
for the kids to have more fun, and concluded the program with lunch from Jollibee and giving 
away necessities such as shampoos, soap, school supplies and so on. 
I got to meet a lot of kids from the shelter – some were street children, some were 
orphans, and some did have parents and homes but neglected them, thereby choosing to stay at 
He Cares. They all had different stories, but one thing they had in common was that they were all 
left to fend off for themselves. I really felt for them as I listened to stories about them. 
As we were eating lunch, I got the chance to talk with a lovable kid from the program, 
Bernard. He was amongst the many street children before he was picked up by the people from 
He Cares Mission. Upon initial observance, I noticed that the kids, including him, in general were 
quite shy and barely spoke, but as we kept talking and sharing stories about UP, they became 
more lively and enthusiastic. The simple stories we told them amazed them! This made me feel 
very happy and surprised deep inside. 
It also took Bernard quite a while to warm and open up. Bernard is now 10 years old, and 
is studying at Mines Elementary School, currently at Grade 3. I also noticed that while everyone 
was talking about how they like this and this sport, he was especially quiet and only listened. 
There I learned that he was not a sporty person. He prefers studying. What’s amazing is that he is 
at the top of his class, and he is doing self-study. I told him I liked math to which he replied saying 
that AP was his favourite. Then we began playing a short game about national heroes and 
historical facts in the Philippines. 
He told me his dream was to be a pilot. And you can really see his eyes shine with 
happiness as I told him the benefits of being a pilot. He asked a lot of question as to what pilots 
do inflight, what they say on the flight speaker and so on. He also said the he hopes to be able to 
become successful and give back to this foundation that adopted him. 
I left the foundation feeling fulfilled. This experience made me realize how blessed I am 
to be able to grow up in a good family. I realized that unlike me, other people have to work 
harder to get what they want, and that I should be thankful for what I have been given. Having 
grown up under very strict parents, I have always focused on achieving good grades to be an 
outstanding person in school. I realised, however, that the question is not “how can I be a better”, 
but “how can I be a better person for myself and for others”. This program inspired me to 
participate further in this event. 
 
Jabines, Jazmin 
I’ve always known that I grew up with privilege. I was born in a hospital and not on the 
streets, I lived in a shelter whereas others slept on flattened cardboard boxes, and I always had 
food on the table. Despite knowing that millions of other street children were not born with the 
same set of conditions as I was, I struggled to make up for my privilege since I failed to see 

5 
 

outside my world. However, taking this NSTP class this semester, and immersing myself in the 
lives of beneficiaries from our foundation, He Cares, made me realize the joy of giving.  
Our foundation, He Cares, aims to make each child, especially the impoverished, a 
channel of Christ. This is a mission that resonates with me deeply because I studied in an all-girls 
Catholic high school, and we were taught that everything we do must express the love of Christ, 
and the love for Christ. Through chess, the children became mediums of Christ’s love because 
the game became a channel for two people to connect and become part of each other’s worlds. 
Interacting with children who live vastly different lives as I do helped me understand that to live a 
life of privilege is often the same as to live a life blind, and I refuse to live that way. 
Many of the children at He Cares do not share the same privilege I live with. They did not 
grow up in proper homes with food always on the table, nor did they sleep on the kind of beds 
that define my comfort space. For many of these impoverished children, the only comfort they 
find is in the arms of Jesus Christ. 
Ultimately, I am thankful that our project, although it was a requirement of this NSTP, 
forced me to widen my vision and accept the responsibility I have to others less fortunate. I must 
give back to the community by investing my life in theirs, and by accepting that happiness is not 
necessarily the meaning of life, but that meaning is found in the service of having brought Christ 
to others. 
 
Lim, Alson  
I have been to countless foundations and adoption centers before but never have I ever 
felt such a strong bond and attachment between myself and the children when we visited our 
chosen beneficiary last Thursday, November 30. Our beneficiary, He Cares Foundation, serves as 
a home to male street children who have long been wandering around the streets of Metro 
Manila. The foundation provides them with all their basic necessities and develops them to be 
better Catholics.  
Being the team captain of our university’s chess team, my group and I decided to put that 
into good use and conduct a chess seminar for the kids residing in the foundation. We started off 
our program with fun games and a prayer then proceeded with the actual program. I prepared 
myself overnight to teach just the basics (rules, moves, goals), keeping in mind that the children 
might still be new to the sport. To my surprise, when we have already set up all the chess boards, 
I observed that the children already know how to play chess and a few are quite adept at it. Some 
of them even said that chess has always been fun for them and not the boring game that 
everyone else usually says. This brightened my heart and seeing that teaching the basics would 
do them no good at that point, we just decided to conduct a chess tournament for the children. 
We supervised every single one of them and I taught them a few principles and advanced 
strategic thinking as I watch them play. They were pretty fast learners, catching on every idea I 
teach almost instantaneously. 
The tournament ended with Jhay-ar emerging as champion. After the tournament, we 
served them food then talked to them to get to know them better. Jhay-ar, 14 years old, has been 
in the foundation for almost 3 years. When I asked him how the foundation has helped his life, he 
told me that it has changed him to be a better person, one who fears God and has a dream. He 

6 
 

dreams of becoming a football star that is why he always looks forward to their football sessions 
in our very own Sunken Garden. Jhay-ar does not love the environment in which his home and 
family is located, that is why he was always on the streets. He also admitted to using illegal drugs 
before entering the foundation but has long stopped it. At first glance, Jhay-ar seemed to be that 
delinquent kid who always gets into trouble but once you get to know him better he actually is a 
charming and very outgoing kid who eagerly attends school. He also expressed his gratitude 
towards the foundation for providing him all that he needs and for being the vessel of God’s 
blessings and forgiveness.  
Getting to know the children and their backgrounds make me appreciate much more 
what I have today. I am also from a humble family and which is why I really feel the struggles that 
the children have been through and I am so thankful for this opportunity provided by our class. 
From a druggie to a true child of God, he reminds me of what we’re fighting for in this country, the 
war against extra-judicial killings and the continuous call for the rehabilitation of our countrymen 
involved in drugs because people do change and Jhay-ar, as young as he could be, is a living 
proof of that.  
 
Mancilla, Aira  
The  concept  of  paying  forward,  which  I  first  heard  about  during  our  NSTP  class,  is  the 
most  significant  lesson  that  I  have  learned  this  semester.  The  idea  of  doing  a  good  deed  for 
someone, and the benefactor expecting that person, not to repay him/her, but to give kindness to 
other  people,  is  something  that  each  one  of  us  should  practice especially today, that cruelty and 
violence are prevalent in our society. 
As  an  iskolar  ng  bayan,  with  our  tuition  fee  being  subsidized  by  the  government,  I  have 
always  felt  that  I  have  the  responsibility  to  utilize  what  I  learned  from  the  university  to  serve  the 
people  and  to  give  back  to  the  Filipino  community.  I  was  very happy to be given the opportunity 
to  fulfill  part  of  this duty through NSTP, wherein we were tasked to plan and execute a project for 
our  chosen  beneficiary.  I  am  fully  aware  that  many  Filipinos  didn’t  have  the  chance  to  finish 
school  due  to  financial problems. As one of the ones who were able to continue their studies and 
go to college, I want to give back and help the less fortunate, especially the children. 
At  first,  the  main  task,  which  is  to  raise  40,000  pesos  for  our  beneficiary,  was  very 
challenging.  The  group  struggled  with  the  execution  of  our  income  generating  projects.  As  a 
result,  we  were  not  able  to  implement some of our plans such as the UAAP merchandise and the 
Tanay Tour. Fortunately, we raised enough funds from our other IGPs. It had also been difficult for 
us  to  meet  as  a  group  and  personally  visit  the  foundation  and  consult  them  about  our  plans 
because  of  the  schedules.  In  the  end,  we  were  able  to  talk  to  them  and  revise  our  project 
concepts based on their needs and suggestions. 
On  the  day  of  our  event,  we  prepared  the  materials needed for the chess lecture, as well 
as  the  gifts  and  food  for  the  children.  We  were  greeted  with  smiles  upon  our  arrival  at  the 
foundation.  The  boys  were  very  participative,  polite,  helpful  and  appreciative.  After  all  the  hard 
work,  I  felt  good  when  I  saw  joy  in  the  children’s  faces.  A  simple  thank  you  from  them made me 
smile. It’s the expression on their faces that made me feel like it’s worth it. 

7 
 

We  were  surprised  that  most  of  the  children  already  know  how  to play chess. I found out 
that  most  of  their  leisure  time  are  spent  on  playing sports like football, and board games such as 
chess,  game  of  the  generals  and  scrabble.  We  conducted  a  tournament  and  awarded  prizes  to 
the winners. 
The  experience  made  me  want  to  work  even  harder.  Some  of  the  children  we  met  left 
their  homes  and  chose  to  sleep  in  the  streets.  I  have  realized  that  we  all  face hardships in life. It 
all  depends  on  how  we  handle  them  and  how  we  keep  moving  forward.  I  felt  that  I  should  be 
more thankful of what I have right now.  
Lastly,  I  have  learned  that  some  of  the  residents  already  have  their  own  jobs  but  still 
chose  to  stay  to  help  the  foundation.  It  was  very  inspiring  to  see  that  that  some  people  in  the 
foundation are already practicing the act of paying forward. 
 
Publico, Anna Sophia  
Through the years, I’ve visited a number of charities and have participated in quite a few 
fund raising projects. Honestly, I’ve grown a distaste for them because I have researched and 
seen first-hand how care-takers can abuse the children (even elders) in these foundations. In 
addition, most of these foundations work on unsustainable models that are either self-serving or 
inefficient. While I see the value of charitable acts and its ability to help those in need, I am very 
skeptical of those who use altruism as a front to serve selfish interests. 
  Given this, I held reservations towards handing a large sum of money to the organization 
we had chosen, but I was glad that I was proven wrong. He Cares is a genuine, kind-hearted 
foundation led by selfless individuals whose primary goal is to uplift poverty-stricken children. 
Led by brother Joe, He Cares shelters around 20 boys, ranging 7 yrs old to those well into their 
teenage years. On the weekends, they hold feeding programs for around 400 children. They are 
also currently working on a project named “Give a Little, Give a Lot” which aims to raise funds to 
build a sustainable farm community for the relocation of urban poor families. In terms of short 
term and long term fixes, He Cares provides both for their beneficiaries. 
  The boys in the shelter were all very kind, well-mannered, and caring towards each other. 
Street children that are transferred to shelters like these have tendencies towards violence and 
selfishness, often exacerbated by non-nurturing environments of such shelters. But it was evident 
that the children of He Cares treated one another like brothers, regardless of age and/or 
background, and their caretakers also showed great care and responsibility for these children. 
The caretakers were stern but nurturing, and the children had great respect for them. 
  From the moment we entered, both the children and the staff were very accommodating. 
While it took a while for us and the children to break the ice, seeing their smiles towards the end 
of the program was simply heartwarming. To know that these children are safe in a place like this 
–out of the streets and the presence of bad influences and vices, gives me hope that one day, 
they can achieve their dreams. 
  The child I interviewed is named Reymart Aballad, he is currently in the 7​th​ grade. His 
father is a police man and his mother stays at home to take care of his two other siblings. He was 
hesitant to divulge the specifics of what goes on in his household, so I chose not to pry further. 
When I asked him if he had siblings with him there in the foundation, like some of the other boys, 

8 
 

he sadly gave a no. We continued to talk about lighter topics like the sports they liked to play, 
where they liked to eat, and what subjects they enjoyed in school. I asked Reymart what he 
wanted to be in the future, and he said he wanted to be a soldier, like his uncle. I admire his 
sense of duty and lack of fear. I reminded him, along with the other boys, to do well in their 
studies. 
  This experience has reminded me of what it truly means to be less-fortunate—of what a 
struggle daily life can be at such a young age. Hearing the stories of Reymart and the other boys, 
I am left out of words at the abuse and neglect they have suffered. I am thankful for brother Joe 
and all the other people supporting He Cares for taking good care of these children and 
constantly working towards the betterment of their lives. All the jokes, laughs, and good times I 
have shared with these children reminded me of just how much they deserve of this world and 
how it is my civic duty to help those who are most in need. 
  I am thankful for the new perspective this project has given me, and I look forward to 
more times I could spend with the children of He Cares. In the meantime, I will be spreading the 
word regarding their Give a Little Lot project and can hopefully get more people to donate. I hope 
to see the day where the dreams and aspirations of both the boys and the foundation come to 
fruition.  
 
Rance, Louise Hezekiah  
November 30 was the day I first visited He Cares foundation. My take on it – fulfilling. 
It wasn’t the first time I had gone on to attend an outreach (and definitely won’t be the 
last). Initially, things were more or less the same. We had a plan, we executed the plan to be with 
these boys, and we spent time with beneficiaries. But, for some reason, this outreach felt 
different. Maybe it was because we planned it. Maybe because the foundation had a vision I 
firmly believed in. But whatever it was, it opened my eyes to the lives of these kids. 
Like most events, we started it out with a prayer. Eventually, we gave out our chess 
boards, and began teaching some of the children how to play. Some of them knew how, 
especially the older kids, while the younger kids knew how to play checkers. This wasn’t new to 
them. Playing sports, even sometimes the occasional basketball and football, is one of the 
children’s pastimes.  
Once the kids had a go at chess, we set up a mini-tournament, giving out lunch first to the 
one who would win. Of course everybody had lunch, but that was enough to drive them to win at 
the tournament. Then, it began. Life talks began. 
I sat down over lunch with three boys from the foundation, namely Jhobert, CJ, and 
Jerome, who were 15-, 11-, and 8-years old, respectively. I spent most of my time talking to 
Jhobert about his dreams, his goals, his ambitions. Because I was knew to the foundation’s vision 
and mission, I had no idea what to expect. Initially, I believed that these boys were all orphans 
who had been left by their families on their own. However, there was more to the story than I 
thought. 
Jhobert has a family. They lived along the streets. He had a mother and a sister, both 
striving to get by everyday. At this moment, I already felt even more blessed to have been raised 
in such a good environment, especially after he told me his story. 

9 
 

He stopped going to school at grade 6, at least before he entered the foundation. This 
had already been his second time to get kicked out. A past rugby-boy (his words), alongside CJ 
and Jerome, to my surprise, he roamed around the area of SM North as a “tambay,” witnessing 
the harshness of the police. He once told me of his experiences as a tambay, and how the police 
would take advantage of their situation, sometimes beating them up in bathrooms with the lights 
off. Other times, he has felt the addiction of drugs already going to him. As the environment 
became more futile, he had lost hope. Until the foundation took him in. 
Jhobert knew about HeCares for its feeding program every Saturday. Kuya Jodi, the 
organizer of the foundation, had known his mother, and had been part of the initiatives to take 
care of the poor urban families along the streets of Project 6. After much consideration, he 
decided to enter the foundation, with a dream to turn his life around, and change his entire 
situation. 
This gave me hope. Being with these kids have made me realize how blessed I am, and 
had also made me realize to take the initiative to pay it forward; that is, to give back to the 
community that has blessed me so much. I’ve learned that there’s so much more than what we 
see on our proximate community, and that the privileged have the duty to give back the same 
way they had been given. It’s our duty to pay it forward. And this experience has helped me 
realize how much we can make a difference by simply showing up to people who are 
underprivileged. 
This won’t be the last time I’ll see Jhobert, Jerome, and the other children of the group. 
And when I get back, I’ll make sure that the kids feel that hope is still there to change their lives 
for the better.  
 
Simon, Peter  
Seeing people on charities and foundations on the media is one thing, and an entirely 
different thing should you experience it first hand. 
To be honest, when our group was planning for the event, I simply perceived what we 
were doing as one of the requirements for the course, and nothing more. I replied to our group 
chats, went to group meetings, and contributed to the required materials. This was all so that I 
could pass the course. 
On the day of the event, I was proven wrong. So wrong. 
We went to the venue by 8:30, 30 minutes prior to the event proper so that we could 
prepare what we needed. As shocking as it may sound, the resident children in the foundation 
greeted us with “Mano PO Kuya” and smiles. I can’t say that I am more excited that they are. 
As the emcee of the event, I can’t stress enough how enthused these kids are to the idea 
of learning and playing chess. Some of them already knew the basics while some were still 
oblivious to the game. But when the tournament stage arrived, I swear that they were as thrilled 
as we were. 
As the day drew to a close, the children and us were generally closer, which was not 
difficult to achieve since they were very friendly and accommodating. The staff were also good 
company. 

10 
 

It is very heartwarming and fulfilling to do something for the benefits of others. I always 
hear this from people around me. However, it is entirely different to experience it for yourself. 
This was an experience I will carry with me throughout my life. Just the joy and fulfillment one can 
experience from giving are immensely superb. 
 
Tayson, Rosario Andrea D.  
Over  the  past  few years I have been growing more and more conscious of the disparity of 
wealth  among  people.  Everytime  I  meet  or  hear  from  people  from  the  socioeconomic  classes  D 
and E, I feel more grateful for the privilege I was born into. 
This  year’s  journey  to  such  awareness  began  in  Boystown, where I met children who had 
no  choice  but  to  rely  on  people  who  were  not  their  parents,  who  in  no  way  were  receiving  the 
love  all  children  are  entitled  too.  There,  too,  were  the  elderly  who had been left at the waysides. 
Sitting  in  front  of  them,  I  remembered  my  own  grandparents,  who  in  their  twilight  years  were 
supported happily by their children, emotionally and financially. 
I  talked  to  a  few  of  the  kids  from He Cares foundation. Most of them are open about their 
origins,  and  hearing  about  what  they  have  suffered  is  difficult.  There  was  one  boy  who  evaded 
telling  me where he came from, however, and that left a bigger impression on me. These children 
have  suffered  in  a  way  no  one  ever should, and they are only a small fraction of the total number 
of such people. 
Food,  shelter,  even  love  -  these  are  both  basic  rights,  are  they  not?  Then  why  are  there 
people  still  deprived  of  it?  I’m  grateful I chose this NSTP program because through it I have been 
able  to  offer  hands-on  help  to  these  people.  My  efforts  have  brought a smile to their faces, even 
for just a little while. 
I  plan  to  continue  giving  aid  to  them  in  any way I can, especially when I start working and 
have money of my own to give away.
