AWH vice president Casey and general manager Raymund were introduced with 2 out of the 3 of them during the recent National Children’s Day celebration event.
We were told that the boys of CICL had been feeling unattended and in need of hygiene items. In light of their situation, Academy of World Healing Foundation (AWH) has decided to provide them with care and hygiene kits.
On November 23, 2022, Casey and Raymund brought them the following items at DSWD Alfonso facility where these boys stay in the bunk beds that AWH previously donated.

During the open forum with the (3) CICL males (ages 15-16) subsequent to the hygiene kits giving, each boy’s story was heard. Two cases were rape and possession of illegal drugs, which they alleged did not commit. They shared feeling of loneliness, resentment and anger. Casey shared his insight how to handle situations they are facing in their youth by observing mind. He also taught them how to meditate daily.
