THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!

To all of our wonderful ANZA members and supporters who have supported our annual Christmas Present Appeal.

A combination of donated presents and money, meant that after some of our charity volunteers went shopping, an amazing almost 200 gifts were delivered to the patients at the National Children's Hospital in Quezon City on Tuesday.

Aysa, Bridget and Sue from our charities committee took the presents to the hospital on behalf of ANZA, and were able to brighten a rough time of year for some very sick children.

As you can see from the photos, the presents were greatly appreciated! 

Amazingly, since we announced the ball theme at the end of November, we have already sold out of the early bird tickets!

Thank you to everyone who has bought tickets, and are now looking forward to diving into the glamour of ANZA's Moonshine in Manila Speakeasy.  

Our wonderful evening includes a three-course dinner, free flow bar & entertainment, and is for a good cause as we raise money for ANZA's charity of the year, Tiny Blessings.

ANZA Manila is delighted to have officially launched our new charity for the year at our Wine and Cheese event at Flat Planet, our ANZA home.

Tiny Blessings is a charity that works with local partners in Manila to provide educational support, resources, and mentorship to street children, helping them to stay in school and achieve their full potential.

The charity was set up by Kyle Javier, originally from San Diego, following a holiday to the Philippines. After seeing the poverty and harsh living conditions the street children of Makati were facing, he created a foundation to fund the basic needs of some of the children he met. 

He has been running Tiny Blessings since 2018, and the foundation is funded by Kyle's family and friends in the US through individual sponsorship for the children and donations to help with bills such as rent and running costs.

Some of the projects ANZA hope to help Kyle with include setting up a more suitable home in Makati, investment in literacy programs for their tutoring service, supporting ongoing school costs for the students and establishing some regular sporting activities for their community. 

Kyle joined our ANZA Wine and Cheese event to talk about the charity, and explain that their mission is to bring 'tiny blessings' to the homeless children of Makati, aiming to instil love, light and confidence in them.

The charity currently provides a home for 14 street children who do not have parents able to care for them. In addition to this they provide food, transport to school, a safe place to visit and tutoring to 40 more children who live on the streets of Makati with their parents.

We look forward to updating you over the next year as to how the money raised will support the charity.

Our amazing High Tea in August raised a whopping 31,572 Php for The Sunshine Sewers.

HUGE thanks to our wonderful host, ANZA Co-President Daisy and all the amazing attendees for making the event such a success.

There was an amazing spread of sweet and savoury food, tea, coffee and mimosas. 

We also need to say a heartfelt thank you to our generous sponsors who donated the fantastic raffle prizes. @beautiquemd @bachacoffee @kulturafilipino @donrevyph @thedailyknead_ @risenationph your support helped us raise an amazing amount of money for The Sunshine Sewers.
