The ever inspiring Julia Morley has left her heart in Tuloy.  It was she who rediscovered the soul of beauty contests by promoting "Beauty with a Purpose."   Although Ate Cory Quirino was no longer directly involved with the Brand, it was heart warming to be assured that the Miss World franchise will never abandon our abandoned kids.  

What truly touched us deeply however was when she, on live TV, rallied  support for Fr. Rocky and the mission of Tuloy during the  Miss World Philippine Contest.

Thank  you Ms Julia not only for acknowledging the extraordinary beauty you saw in our kids  but also for encouraging all those who have made Tuloy the reality that it is.  

Nelson Mandela's grandson visits Tuloy and shares meaningful memories with our Kids

Last September 2, 2017, the grandson of  Nelson Mandela, Zwelivelile Mandlesizwe Mandela Chief of the Royal House of Mandela and Honorable member of  the Parliament of South Africa has honored Tuloy sa Don Bosco with his presence. In  his inspiring message he recalled how his grandfather left open the gates of their home for any person to come in ("Tuloy po"). It was therefore normal for him so see total strangers walking around their compound. Having been embraced by our street kids was very humbling for him to remember how street kids in South Africa used to walk up and embrace his grandfather.

The Chief was amazed to once again relive the bond that South Africa has with Tuloy. In March of 2010 our kids participated in the First  Deloitte Street Child World Cup (SCWC) held in Durban South Aftrica. The Shield trophy, the only award given out in the event apart from the championship crown, was given to the RP team for their hard-earned 2-1 win over host South Africa. But what everyone could not forget about that day was how our victorious kids took the flag of South Africa and ran waving it around the stadium to the warm and emotional applause of the home crowd. 

We are sure that Fr. Rocky could very well relate with Nelson Mandela who once said that "Sports has the power to change the world."

Tuloy Kid raises Art and Baking to a whole new level

Clint Llesis, a Tuloy Foundation graduate, just gets better and better. Every cake he designs is truly a work of Art.  Everyone who gets a cake from the shop where he works encounters an extraordinary experience.  They always hesitate when it comes to cutting the cake. Who can blame them?

Tuloy Foundation and Friends send goods and supplies to Marawi

Tuloy Foundation and Friends sent three truck loads of goods and supplies to war torn Marawi City. Our gifts were joined with fervent prayers for those most affected by this conflict. The Civil Military Operations Group assisted us in bringing the supplies to Marawi. They have also been facilitating the transport of children form  Cotabato to Tuloy sa Don Bosco Street Children Village. Our kids personally know some of the soldiers who have been deployed there, foremost of whom is Col. Thomas Sedano. Tuloy thanks all those who, on their own initiative, extended help.

Football brings together in Hong Kong African Refugees and displaced Filipino Kids cared for at Tuloy.

Football brings together in Hong Kong African Refugees  and  displaced Children cared for in Tuloy and trained by coaches from Chelsea Football school through the auspices of Luenthai. This is so meaningful and is representative of the goodness of heart in many people. Good people seem to gravitate towards common life changing advocacies.   The impoverished families of these Tuloy kids used to live in derelict waterways and had been displaced  to safer ground in the province of Laguna.
