Bea Alonzo and her nonprofit organization I Am Hope handed over donations to the SOS Children’s Village in Muntinlupa City amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

The actress also spent some time with the kids at the orphanage, as seen in her Instagram post last Tuesday, July 6.

While interacting with the staff and children, Alonzo and her team also learned about the SOS Children’s Village, such as that in the Philippines it has seven centers, and praised its programs.

“You see, theirs is a different kind of an orphanage; they create a sense of family inside the village wherein they place the kids (and most of the time, the siblings are placed in the same house) with a ‘NANAY (mother),’” Alonzo added.

“Seeing them smile back at me, even with masks on, is a reflection of how we can still have HOPE amid chaos,” the actress expressed.

Along with their donations to the orphanage, Alonzo and her team have handed over supplies to frontliners in Pasig City as well. The organization has also raised P9 million in cash and in-kind donations for various COVID-19 relief efforts.  /ra
