Project Updates


St. Martin de Porres, Bustos, Bulacan, Philippines, July 2006:

Building Blocks of a Bright Future-and a Good Night's Sleep
For the boys of SMDP, who've been sleeping on bunk beds in a revamped former city bus in their current quarters, the rapid construction of their new dormitory is a dream come true. Right on schedule, the walls are rising, showing just how much can be accomplished when people band together in the name of a worthy cause.

Learn more about the people of St. Martin de Porres at the SMDP website.


The SMDP boys' dormitory as of July 13


From one month to the next (see June update), a dramatic transformation of the site where the SMDP Children's Village will stand occurs.
