Board of Trustees and Management Team came up with the NEW Mission, Vision, Core Values and Goals for Kalipay Negrense Foundation during the seminar sponsored by Consuelo Foundation. 2 Message from the President

Dear Friends,

It is with extreme joy that I express my heartfelt and sincerest THANK YOU for the 10 years that we have been together in our fight for the rights of disadvantaged children. It has been a challenging 10 long years - a roller coaster ride of joy, triumphs, almost insurmountable problems and sweet pains in between.

Losing hope was never an option when one looked into the eyes of these sad and lonely children. In our Kalipay homes, I knew they would be given uncondtional love, a new home, new life and so much more. Seeing their smiles and hearing their laughter were enough for us to go on.

With the support of Kalipay’s committed Board of Trustees, its compassionate team -- from the home managers, social workers, psychologist, cooks, drivers, office and home staff and home parents, I believe without a doubt we can best work towards the fulfillment of the dreams of every child brought to our doorstep.

Each feature in this 2017 Annual Report, from the articles, to the pictures, reports and programs are stories of hope, success, courage, faith and perseverance.

Your generous and unwavering support as our benefactors, sponsors, partners, volunteers and friends has contributed much to the fulfilment of our mission.

Warmest regards,

ANNA C. BALCELLS Founder and President Kalipay Negrense Foundation, Inc.
