Founder's Page
Our Founder
Mark Priagula Dolorosa, the second child in his family, has always demonstrated resilience and a heart for service despite life’s challenges. His educational journey began at Don Bosco Technical Institute in Victorias City, an all-boys school where he completed his primary education. He then attended Trinity Christian School, a Chinese institution in Bacolod City, Negros Occidental, for his high school years.
Mark initially pursued a Bachelor of Science in Fine Arts, majoring in Interior Design, at La Consolacion College in Bacolod. However, financial constraints interrupted his studies. Determined to succeed, Mark’s brother encouraged him to continue his education, leading him to enroll at the Philippine Christian University in Manila, where he earned an associate degree in Hotel and Restaurant Management (HRM).
After graduating, Mark worked as a food counter attendant at the Post Hotel and Spa in Lake Louise, Canada, for four years. While the experience allowed him to grow professionally, he faced personal struggles with depression, which eventually brought him back home. These challenges became pivotal moments in Mark’s journey, shaping his purpose and strengthening his resolve to make a difference.
In 2019, Mark turned his challenges into a mission by founding his local charity with the heartfelt vision: "Touching Hearts, Changing Lives." What began as a humble effort to uplift others has grown into a meaningful initiative that continues to inspire and empower individuals in his community.
As a proud member of the Persons with Disabilities (PWD) community, Mark’s journey has been a beacon of hope for others. In recognition of his dedication and leadership, he was recently elected as the President of the Association of Persons with Disabilities (PWDs) of Balabag, Pavia. This new role allows him to further advocate for inclusivity, create opportunities, and amplify the voices of the PWD community.
Mark’s story is a testament to resilience, compassion, and the power of service. Despite personal struggles and setbacks, he has proven that adversity can be a stepping stone to greatness. Through his charity work and leadership, Mark continues to inspire those around him, embodying the spirit of his organization’s mission.
With unwavering determination and a heart full of purpose, Mark Priagula Dolorosa stands as a shining example of how one can rise above challenges to make a meaningful impact on the lives of others.
Founder's Vision
When Mark founded this local charity, the vision was to create a group of individuals who serve others with genuine joy. Over the past five years, that vision has been successfully realized. However, Mark's aspirations for the charity continue to grow. In the coming years, the charity plans to adopt schools, support Aeta and barangay communities, and build a semi-private mental health center. This center will focus on helping Persons with Disabilities (PWDs) suffering from psychosis and similar mental health issues in rural areas, providing free or affordable professional care to those in need.
Invest in hope and kindness.
