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."

In one of the most poignant chapters of the 2025 Global Santa Program, We Care for Humanity (WCH) extended its reach to a specialized care facility in Rizal, providing essential support and pastoral guidance to young survivors of abuse.

The mission was personally sponsored and coordinated by Ms. Cristi Santos Pangilinan, WCH Regional Director for Rizal, in close collaboration with Pastora Rizaline Irene Torres Pascual, WCH Country Director for the Philippines.

• Personal Hygiene Kits: Essential supplies curated to promote health and self-care.

• Nutritional Support: Specially prepared lunch packs and festive chocolates.

• Spiritual Fortification: Deeply impactful pastoral care and counseling sessions led by Rev. Pastor Gabriel Pascual.

Restoring Hope and Dignity "Global Santa is not just about gifts; it is about restoring the sense of worth in every child, especially those who have faced unimaginable challenges," stated WCH Founder, HRH Queen Mariam Leonor Torres Mastura. "The dedication of Ms. Pangilinan and the Pascual family in providing this sanctuary of care reflects the true heart of our humanitarian mission."

By combining material aid with spiritual support, the mission sought to provide a "hand up" in the healing process of these resilient young women.

CEO Belynn Lam Pledges New Solar Water Well for Kenyan Community Through We Care for Humanity

LOS ANGELES, CA – November 5, 2025 – Belynn Lam, CEO and Founder of the US-based Lam Global Investment & Consulting LLC, has generously pledged to fund a new solar water well in Kenya. This vital contribution supports the "Water for Humanity" program, an ongoing initiative by the global humanitarian organization, We Care for Humanity (WCH). Ms. Lam is also scheduled to attend the upcoming 8th WCH Royal Summit in Bali.

This new well will add to WCH's significant impact in the nation. To date, We Care for Humanity has successfully installed three water wells, providing life-sustaining water access to thousands. These past projects were made possible with the invaluable support of Kenyan leaders, including former Vice President HE Stephen Kalonzo Musyoka and Honorable MP Mulyungi.

"Belynn is a shining example of leadership with compassion," said HRH Queen Mariam, Founder of WCH. "Her support for We Care for Humanity has been steadfast, especially in her former role as our Youth Director for the USA.

We Care for Humanity and Sultanate of Maguindanao Mobilize Relief for Davao Earthquake Victims

DAVAO CITY, PHILIPPINES – October 20, 2025 – In a swift humanitarian response to the recent earthquake that affected the region, We Care for Humanity (WCH) and the Sultanate of Maguindanao, under the royal patronage of HRH Maha Putri (Queen) Mariam Leonor Torres Mastura and HM Sultan Zulkarnain Mastura Kudarat VI, have successfully conducted a large-scale relief-aid distribution in Davao City.

The mission, led on the ground by Queen Mariam, Founder of We Care for Humanity, provided essential necessities to hundreds of families in dire need. The distribution was held at Talomo Barangay Proper and served many of the most vulnerable, including some who traveled as far as six hours from Davao Oriental to receive assistance.

Upon landing in Davao, Torres immediately spearheaded the procurement of bulk supplies, including rice, noodles, canned goods, coffee, and other condiments. The operation's success was ensured by a massive volunteer effort, which saw the entire cache of goods sorted and packed in less than 24 hours. The team of volunteers, led by the Royal Ladies of Maguindanao, was so extensive that the fashion atelier of Bai Nurainie Datumanong Ampatuan was generously converted into a temporary packing headquarters to accommodate the scale of the operation.

"Seeing the resilience of these families is humbling. This was a monumental effort, only made possible by the incredible spirit of bayanihan," said HRH Queen Mariam. "I am in awe of our Davao team, who mobilized their entire families to shop, pack, and deliver this aid. My hands are sore from packing, but my heart is full knowing this will bring comfort to so many. We are profoundly grateful to them and to our sponsors, whose compassion made this mission possible."

The success of the mission was heavily reliant on the on-ground support from key local leaders and volunteers. WCH and the Sultanate extend their deepest gratitude to:

• Sultanate of Maguindanao, Davao Region: Datu Joel Bustamante (Sultanate’s Secretary General), Sultan Racman Maug (Sultan and Council Elder), Datu Larry Cabagio (IPMR, Davao City), Rajamuda Buhari Camis (Muslim Affairs, Talomo), Datu Ali Sacar (Muslim Affairs, Talomo), Engr. Hadji Datu Esmael Maulana, Datu Ramil Ampatuan, Datu Muctabil Datumanong, Sultan Allan Manuel, Sultan Abdul Mawla Camamara and Sultan Abdul Baser Bago Bawami.

• The Royal Ladies of Maguindanao: Bai Tharhata D. Ampatuan (Potri sa Kabuntalan sa Magindanaw), Bai Norejean Mastura-Datumanong-Ampatuan and her entire family, Bai Nurainie Datumanong Ampatuan (Hiyas sa Kadayawan 2019-2021), Bai Tata Ampatuan, Bai Milrose Mastura Maulana- Bai Labi sa Lakungan, Rajah Buayan and Bai Lorena Angas Mastura- Bai sa Nuling

This relief operation was also funded by the generous contributions of sponsors from the United States: Bai Huong Vo and family, Bai Lola Smallen, Leah Halama, Helen Hong, Luz Tudla Prill, Sally Balecha, Jonathan White, Charm, Antony, Vince, and Jenny.

Further distribution efforts are being planned for other affected areas.
