Global Santa Hanoi Delivers Aid to Cancer Patients Led by Queen Maria and WCH Team

The "Global Santa" initiative, the flagship humanitarian program of We Care for Humanity (WCH), successfully touched down in Hanoi, bringing essential aid and holiday cheer to those who need it most. Led by WCH Founder and President, Queen Mariam Leonor Torres Mastura, the mission focused on providing relief to patients battling critical illnesses.

The delegation visited two major hospitals dedicated to cancer treatment in Hanoi. The team distributed vital medicines and food supplies to hundreds of patients, offering not just material aid but a message of solidarity and hope during the season.

Spearheading the logistics on the ground was Ms. Bai Huong Vo, the WCH Country Director for Vietnam, whose leadership ensured the smooth execution of the mission.

WCH Greece Delivers Holiday Hope to Orphans of Hadjikyriakeio During Global Santa Initiative

On December 30, 2025, the Greece chapter of We Care for Humanity (WCH) brought the warmth of the holiday season to the orphans of Hadjikyriakeio through a special Global Santa mission.

The humanitarian effort was mobilized in response to the health challenges faced by the orphans’ guardian, Archimandrite Chrysostomos Karambelas, who recently underwent multiple surgeries. To ensure the children were not left behind during the festive season while their guardian recovers, the WCH team stepped in to provide essential support and holiday cheer.

The mission was spearheaded by WCH Greece and Cyprus Ambassador, Dr. Katerina Glykou Fontinia, and WCH Greece Interim Country Director, Ms. Jenny Michalopolous. They were joined by a dedicated group of ten female members of WCH Greece and the organization’s social media team from the group "It is us - not me - because ego is over" (https://www.facebook.com/groups/124215304408005/?ref=share).

Together, the volunteers delivered a substantial donation of food, including meat, bread, and various holiday goodies, ensuring the children enjoyed a festive meal and felt the embrace of their community.

Archimandrite Chrysostomos Karambelas is a cherished member of the humanitarian community, having been knighted by We Care for Humanity in September 2025 during the Heptapolis - Trilogy, the Vision of Delphi event in Athens.

Reflecting on the collective effort of the volunteers, Dr. Katerina Glykou Fontinia remarked, "True humanitarianism is about acting as one family. When we saw the need at Hadjikyriakeio, there was no hesitation; we simply wanted to ensure these children felt love and security during the holidays."

Ms. Jenny Michalopolous added, "The spirit of Global Santa is about stepping in where there is a need. With Father Chrysostomos recovering, we felt a deep responsibility to ensure the orphans of Hadjikyriakeio still experienced the joy and abundance of the holidays. It was an honor to serve them."

The Founder of We Care for Humanity, HRH Queen Mariam Leonor Torres Mastura, praised the initiative from the organization's headquarters: "I am incredibly proud of the WCH Greece team. Their swift action to support the orphans while our dear Knight, Archimandrite Chrysostomos, recovers is the true definition of compassion. They have shown that when one of us is down, the rest will stand up to protect the vulnerable."
