2012 Children of the Philippines Project



Hello all! My name is Keith Villones and I am with the Annapolis Rotaract Club. This will be my 3rd goodwill trip to the Philippines where for the past 4 years, I have brought food, clothing and other much needed supplies to some depressed areas of the Philippines.

For my upcoming project in 2012 "Children of the Philippines", I will be concentrating my efforts on several orphanages located in the capital of Manila, who are in desperate need of the following supplies. In the months leading up to my trip, the Annapolis Rotaract will be collecting these supplies to be shipped via freight, just in time for my arrival mid summer 2012. If you would like to help, please drop off your donated items at my work "Zachary's Jewelers" located on the corner of Main Street in downtown Annapolis OR call me for a convenient pick up (443-695-2671). I thank you for your support and as you can see from the pictures below, these children are always grateful for the Annapolis Rotaract club and the city of Annapolis.
