where angels fall asleep

Concordia Orphanage

4600 Old Sta Mesa St, Sta Mesa Manila.

Home for the homeless angels found along the busy strip of motels in old sta mesa. Ironic.

Some of them are abandoned since birth. They are the end products of unwanted pregnancies, rape cases and poverty.

Concordia Orphanage nurses for 25 babies age ranges from 0-5 yrs old. It has 7 inhouse caregivers.

They operate purely on donations. Sad to say most of these came from foreign visitors. Most of the babies here are from Fabella and PGH and in some cases, those rescued from streets.

Sharing this humbling experience makes me realize scarcity of human love. People are bound to many temptations and vices, wasting times debating for whose to blame. Fighting for money they never even worked for. Yet they dont even realize sectoral necessities. Those who cant voice out their needs. Angels who can only cry when hungry and smile when feed up.
