📅 June 13, 2025
✍️ By: Mark Dolorosa, Founder & President, The Beneficent Hands Inc.
Today marks a beautiful and historic milestone for The Beneficent Hands as we officially conclude our participation in the 2025 Brigada Eskwela and, at the same time, formally sign the Memorandum of Agreement with Casalsagan Elementary School in Pototan, Iloilo.
With full joy and a heart of gratitude, I am proud to announce that Casalsagan Elementary School is now our officially “Adopted School for Life.”
To all our dear sponsors, partners, and friends, this moment is not just a document signed—it’s a commitment sealed in love, service, and purpose. Your continued support makes this mission real and lasting.
Let us join hands in nurturing this school. Let us plant seeds of hope, kindness, and strong values into the lives of young learners—so that one day, they will stand proud, not only because they have overcome poverty, insecurities, or inferiority, but because they carry the love, support, and goodness that we’ve passed on to them.
💛 One day, they will remember this.
They will remember us.
And they will thrive—not just academically, but in character, dignity, and purpose.
So to all our beloved sponsors and partners, let’s continue to walk with our adopted school. Let us bless Casalsagan not just with donations, but with our presence, mentorship, and prayers.
Together, we’re not just building classrooms—we are building people of value, vision, and virtue.
🌱 From seed to legacy—this is what love looks like in action.
🌟 To Our Beloved Sponsors and Partners 🌟
From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for standing with us during Brigada Eskwela 2025. Your support went beyond donations—it became a powerful expression of hope, compassion, and shared values that touched not only the lives of learners, but also their families and teachers.

With deep joy and gratitude, we officially welcome Casalsagan Elementary School as our “Adopted School for Life.” This is more than a partnership—it's a lifelong commitment to journey with them, grow with them, and uplift them.
🙏 To our sponsors—thank you for believing in the mission.
🤝 To our future partners—may this be the beginning of your “yes” to a purpose bigger than all of us.

🌟 A Key That Opened a Door 🌟
Every milestone begins with a spark—one person, one conversation, one act of kindness.
This remarkable woman—Manang Aireen—is that spark for The Beneficent Hands She is the one who opened the door of Casalsagan Elementary School to us, and we will forever honor her role in this unfolding story of compassion and transformation.
The journey began in 2023, with a simple but sincere feeding program at our residence in Tamburong, where we gathered children to be nourished, both in body and spirit. Our goal was clear: to reach the undernourished and underserved children of our community.
But Manang Aireen saw something more.
She approached me and said, “Why not bring your outreach to the school? There are children who cannot come to you—but you can go to them.”
And that moment changed everything.
Because of her encouragement and vision, we stepped into Casalsagan Elementary School—and today, that step has grown into a lasting partnership. What began as a neighborhood feeding has now blossomed into a formal adoption of a school, a symbol of hope, and a commitment to nurturing young minds and hearts.
✨ She is the key that unlocked a future we once only imagined.
On behalf of The Beneficent Hands, we give our deepest gratitude to Manang Aireen for being the bridge, the voice, and the quiet hero behind this incredible milestone.
To our beloved sponsors, future partners, and kind-hearted friends—may this story move you. May it stir your hearts to join us in this mission. Together, we can reach more, love more, and change lives for good.
Let us continue to be keys—opening doors where children are waiting for hope to walk in.

Today marks a profound milestone for The Beneficent Hands Inc. (tBH) as we officially signed our Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the Order of Asclepius – WVSU.
As Founder and President, my heart is brimming with both joy and purpose. This partnership is more than a document—it is the fulfillment of a long-held dream: to form our very own medical mission team under the banner of tBH.

This MOU is not merely an agreement.

Let this be your sign. A partnership with tBH is not just charity; it is an investment in healing, in community, and in the enduring strength of shared humanity.
🙏 Thank You, Lord, for orchestrating this union. May this be the beginning of many journeys of healing, many lives transformed, and many hearts restored.
Together, we go forward—
with purpose, with passion, and with hands ready to serve.
✨ MOU Signing with Soap Cycling Philippines
On June 17, 2025, we formally strengthened our ongoing partnership with Soap Cycling Philippines through the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) held at Robinsons Jaro. Representing Soap Cycling Philippines was their passionate Country Manager, Ms. Lovelyn Padernal, while I stood with pride for The Beneficent Hands Inc. (tBH).
This milestone reaffirms our shared commitment that began in 2020—to promote hygiene, wellness, and sustainability across Iloilo and its neighboring communities.
Through this MOU, we aim to:
🫧 Integrate recycled soaps into our outreach programs

💚 Educate communities on sanitation and proper hygiene practices
Together, we believe that something as simple as a bar of soap can become a symbol of dignity, care, and hope—especially for the most vulnerable.
Maraming salamat, Soap Cycling Philippines, for your unwavering trust. Here's to more years of impactful partnership and compassion-driven collaboration. 💫
