Long before BALAY existed, some BALAY Trustees had started the annual tradition of appealing to friends and families to donate clothes and pre-loved toys to children who otherwise would not have owned toys. Christmas is our favorite time to practice this; we never fell short of givers year after year. As the toys and clothes received grew in number over the span of 28 years, so did the number of volunteers. This gallery is dedicated to all our benefactors who shared our passion and commitment to bringing joy and development to disadvantaged children in the Philippines. May this page remind you that you are a blessing to many.
