the mainstreaming of the rich culture, heritage and identity of the people of Bangsamoro with the inclusive development of women, youth and other vulnerable sectors.

Bringing Hygiene Kits containing toiletries and other female necessities for both orphans and teachers totaling to 70 people, BCPCH-BARMM also provided FREE Iftar for everyone on the orphanage in tune to the Holy Month of Ramadan that is also being celebrated this March. As part of strengthening their Culture and Heritage, a handful of selected children were also requested to recite Surah (Qur’an Verses) to assess their learnings regarding their belief and identity as Bangsamoros. By doing the aforementioned activity components, the event then fully embodies the virtues on Charity, Community Support and Spiritual Growth which adheres to the teachings of Islam. IHH Orphanage Director Ahmad Lipolos then expressed his heartfelt appreciation to the Commission for recognizing the charity they represent as the beneficiary. In addition, he emphasized the important nature of these kinds of acts during Ramadan. Recognizing the efforts of women empowerment as manifested by the significant contribution of women teachers in the orphanage and fostering a compassionate and caring culture through the efforts of IHH Orphanage Director Lipolos, the Commission hopes that this action will create a domino effect and more organization will lend a hand in helping the orphans uplift their living conditions for their future.
