DLS-CSB students upgrade orphanage

WITH the goal to create a conducive environment for healing and growth, a team of young undergrads renovated and refurbished the social service hall of Asilo de San Vicente de Paul, a centuries-old non-profit children's home in Paco, Manila.

Founded in 1885 by Sister Asunción Ventura, Daughters of Charity, the first Filipina to establish an orphanage in the Philippines, the home is widely admired as a refuge for abandoned and disadvantaged children. It has since expanded to serve the indigent, the sick, and the elderly.
