Spirituality
We believe in a power higher than ourselves, in miracles rather than coincidences, and that Consuelo's spirit remains with us in all that we do. We share her conviction that what matters in life is not great deeds, but great love. We commit to helping her to fulfill her wish, inspired by St. Therese of the Child Jesus, to spend her heaven doing good on earth by letting "fall from Heaven a Shower of Roses." |
 |
Individual Worth
We believe in the inherent right of every individual to self-respect, dignity and self-esteem. We acknowledge that each person is a unique human being with pride, needs, values and innate worth. We work with a rich, diverse mixture of people; we honor that diversity and respect their right for equal opportunity and self-determination.

 |
Caring and Nurturing
We believe, as described in the Gospel of St. Matthew, that, "Inasmuch as you have done it unto the least of these my brethren, you have done it unto me." We affirm the importance of caring and nurturing by individuals and communities for each other and our environment. |
 |
Reciprocity
We believe that hope is nurtured when partners and beneficiaries share with and give to others the gifts they have received. |
 |
Creativity and Reciprocity
We believe that change is inevitable and challenges us to be creative and innovative in problem solving.
|
|
Innovation
We believe in the development and application of preventive programs to alleviate future abuse and exploitation while recognizing that sometimes we will need to address existing conditions as part of that process. |
 |
Philippine and Hawai‘i Connectedness
We believe in the synergy of the cultural and historical ties between Hawai‘i and the Philippines, and will nurture its application in the development of our programs.
