No doubt that she is a woman of
substance. Socorro Arevalo, program director of A Home for the
Angels Child Caring Foundation, continues to dedicate her life in
the field of sustainable child development.
Former Manila Mayor and now
Environment Secretary Lito Atienza and his wife Ma. Evelina
established A Home for the Angels Child Caring Foundation Inc. 12
years ago. The foundation helps abandoned babies and provides them
with shelter and care. Up to date, 245 babies have already been
rescued and given guidance by foundation volunteers. Arevalo is now
in charge of carrying out the foundation’s goals and target
programs.
