DUM SPIRO SPERO SERIES

Each time you take home one of their handicraft, you affirm their belief that they are not forgotten and gives them hope and a sense of self-worth to carry on living fulfilling lives. The sale of these beautiful handicrafts produced by our residents give recognition of your acceptance of these often РІР‚ВforgottenРІР‚в„ў individuals in our society. It helps them to appreciate the joy of work. However, its purpose lies in a far more meaningful and poignant reason. It does not aim to provide a livelihood for our residents.

DUM SPIRO SPERO SERIES

With this initiative, all residents of our shelter are encouraged to participate in a series of handicraft works where they produce candles, rosaries, crucifixes and Christmas cribs, by hand. We call one of our programmes, DUM SPIRO SPERO, Latin for While I Breathe, I Hope. Spiritual healing is just as important healing of their physical self. Besides providing a shelter that aims to meet their physical and spiritual needs, programmes such as mediation, intercessory prayers and counselling work towards meeting some of our objectives. With no such support, it becomes a struggle to live independently as a whole person as meaningful as any other normal individual.Р”Р„t CARE, we strive to provide them with much needed physical and spiritual support. Rejected by friends and even family pushes them to the limit of hopelessness and depression. Health issues contribute to their dilemma aggravated painfully by prejudice and stigma by society at large.

With AIDS, these aspirations are shattered. PLWHAs like any other individual, share same hopes and dreams like us.
