Our Police Detainee Welfare Program delivers meals, personal care items, spiritual comfort, social assistance & telemedicine healthcare to detainees in precincts in & around the Philippine City of Olongapo.
This week our team was honoured to have a VIP accompanying them on their weekly rounds. Ramon Lacbain II, President of our Philippines arm, Integridad: Heart for Detainees Inc., joined in with distributing food to the detainees.
As a Christian faith-inspired organisation, we believe that spiritual nourishment is as important as physical nutrition and medical care. Detainees who wish to can hear our staff talk about God’s love for them can do so. We give them a specially designed leaflet that explains the Christian message in a way that makes sense to detainees. Mr Lacbain shared words from the Bible and prayed with & for the detainees. That particular day 43 detainees were assisted in two police stations and a drug enforcement unit. We thank God for the opportunity to share His love and comfort with those most in need.
Those interested in volunteering with our police detainee welfare program may contact Operations Manager, Mam Loy Napalan. And of course we welcome any financial donations to help support this vital pandemic ministry.
