St. Francis Feb 18th 2026
This Monday, our students at St Francis learned about online privacy and how to be safe on the internet. 💻 After the lesson, we had some fun playing charades together! We have also started English Lessons once again! 📚 Our volunteers are working closely with students to support their English schoolwork and help them prepare for upcoming tests.
A huge thank you to everyone who came out to volunteer! ✨ Interested in joining us? Contact [email protected] to get involved!
This Valentine's Day, let's talk about real love - community love!
Forget the chocolate boxes. The most valuable gift you can give isn't something you buy at a store. It's your time, your presence, your mentorship.
Salesforce send Love Letters..A-Z flashcards for children’s homes.
Every week, our volunteers show up for the children in our programs. They give 2 hours that change lives. They help young people in institutional care prepare for their futures with English tutoring, life skills, and simply knowing someone cares.
That's community love in action.
This week, will you join our village? Give 2 hours of your time. Show up for a young person who needs to know they matter.
Because raising children takes all of us. And showing up is just the right thing to do.

Shinnenkai & Charity Lunch
We attended the Shinnenkai & Charity Lunch in Nagoya on January 24th to support the Star Chamber, the aged out youth that the Chubu Children’s Fund and YouMeWe support through the Mark Bell Scholarship funds. We assist the increasingly successful number who graduate with their degrees from University. We gave five laptops to the new scholars and watched in awe as they move forward.

Learning + fun = the perfect combo!
This week our St. Francis students mastered cyberbullying awareness and online safety, then celebrated with a sushi typing game! Watching them build both digital literacy AND typing speed reminds us why our Japan-to-Manila program has been going strong for 17 years.
Every click, every lesson, every laugh - it's all preparing these incredible kids for brighter futures. Want to be part of their journey?
