Mother Joan: Naga City, Philippines


Mother Joan Clare Chin Loy, born in Jamaica, is the Founder of the Missionaries of the Poor, Sisters --Regina Coeli Foundation: a phenomenally energetic, compassionate and savvy lady.

Our first stop was to the Garbage Dump outside Naga City, where a town has emerged filled with people who barely make $2 a day. Here, Mother Joan reaches out to the children, offering them food, medicines, vitamins, and other aid so as to demonstrate the love of God.

Over the years we have sent tons and tons of supplies, material, and etc., to help her work here.

As you can see, one of the treats the children received was a sucker!



Not only does Mother Joan go out into the streets and garbage dumps to serve the people, she also has established a trade school and clinic, where the children are fed, taught, catechized, and showered with love.
