As we greet a new year, new challenges have inevitably arisen
given the current state of the world. With these problems that we face during
these uncertain times, Alaska Fortified Powdered Milk sought to uplift vulnerable
communities and share the spirit of giving. Last Christmas, Alaska invited
members of its Facebook community, MOMs of Alaska (MOMAs), to make the holidays
a little brighter for the children from the company’s partner orphanages,
Christian Compassion Ministries Foundation, Inc. and House of Refuge
Foundation, Inc. Over a hundred members of the Alaska MOMAs community came together
to create special Christmas cards, with creative designs and personalized
messages dedicated to each of the children.
Alaska collected the Christmas cards and held a turnover
with the partner institutions, donating 70 days’ worth of “Lakas at Talas” in
the form of Alaska Fortified Powdered Milk products that can give the children
the added nutrition to help with their brain and body development while they
are growing. Gift packs with toys and educational materials were also included
in the turnover, which the children welcomed with smiles and loud cheers.
Mailyn Balairos, Center Head of Christian Compassion
Ministries Foundation, Inc. (CCMFI), a church-based Christian organization that
aims to provide children with educational assistance, shelter, medical aid,
skills training and nourish their souls with the word of God, shared her
appreciation to the moms who took their time to create Christmas cards for the
children under their care. “On behalf of CCMFI and the children, I wanted to
convey my deepest gratitude to the moms of Alaska and to Alaska Fortified
Powdered Milk for this unforgettable event for the children,” Mailyn shared.

Riza Lepasana, OIC and Directress of House of Refuge
Foundation Inc., a non-profit organization dedicated to assisting orphaned and
abandoned children in Metro Manila, also expressed her gratitude for the
initiative. “On behalf of House of Refuge, I sincerely thank the moms who made
an effort to make this Christmas feel special for our kids, and to thank Alaska
for sharing their blessings of ‘Lakas at Talas’ with our children,” Riza said.
Alaska Fortified Powdered Milk also thanks its partner
orphanages for assisting and providing homes to children in need and giving
them the “alaga” or care that they deserve. In these challenging times, Alaska
reaches out to the children of House of Refuge and Christian Compassion
Ministries Foundation and hopes to continue their mission of providing
affordable quality nutrition to Filipino children and families everywhere.
