Helping
Hands International is an organization that was born out of care, passion,
& concern for the less privileged. It is a story of a little girl whose
parents were unable to cater for & give her the "basic" things of
life.
As a
little girl, Luzviminda suffered a lot & had to struggle for herself to
survive. During this time she made a commitment in her heart that if God will
help her become somebody in life she will NEVER neglect the less privileged.
One day
as she was hawking potatoes around the street in Philippines she met an
American man who came to do biz in Philippines. And this American asked her,
"little girl why are you not in School? & she replied that she was not
in school because her parents were too poor to put her in school".
So, the
American asked if he can meet her parents. When they met, he demanded from them
to let him take their daughter with him to American & they obliged. The American adopted little Luzviminda, took her to
America & put her in School. She grew up in America & started working.
After
working in American for many years she now thought to herself that it was time
for her to fulfill her childhood dream. She left America & went back to her home Country, Philippines.
On getting back to Philippines she started a Non Governmental Charity
Organisation called HELPING HANDS.
Her
Organisation started by adopting out of
school
indigenous children & orphans. The
Organisation
caters for them & put them in school. She started to give humanitarian
support to widows, handicapped & all categories of less privileged person.
In the
course of doing this, she met with a
Doctor,
Dr Ramiel Policarpio, who also run an NGO that focuses on supporting the aged
& elderly people . They now
thought wise that since they have a similar VISION, that it will be good for
them to collaborate together & create a bigger organization so that they
can be able to reach out to & help more people. That was how these two guys
joined their resources together & changed the name of the organization from
just HELPING HANDS to
HELPING
HAND INT’L because by this time they
have conceived a bigger Vision of working BEYOND THE BORDERS of their country
THROUGH PARTNERSHIP with INDIVIDUALS and CORPORATE
ORGANISATIONS.
THIS WAS
HOW Helping Hands Int’l began. As the organization started getting bigger, it extends its
activities from Philippines to Japan, from Japan it extends to Cambodia and
Pakistan, and to India. And they gradually cover most
countries in Asia & the middle east.
However,
Helping Hands International get to Africa by what could be described as a luck
because Africa was not part of the original plan of the organization. Sometimes
in 2013, Dr Ramiel Policarpio CAME TO ATTEND A MEDICAL CONFERENCE IN ABUJA.
It was at
that Medical Conference he met a Nigerian Doctor: Dr. Ejiro Timothy Odeghe and
they became friends. It was in
the
course of their conversations that Dr. Ejiro gets to know about the activities
of H2i in Asia. So Dr, Ejiro said to his NEW friend that since their organization
is about HELPING POOR PEOPLE ... that THERE ARE MANY POOR PEOPLE in Nigeria that can also BENEFIT from their organization. And he
requested that their
organization
should extend its activities to Nigeria.
So the
organization WROTE a proposal to the Federal Government of Nigeria and IT WAS
GRANTED! H2i came to Nigeria and was
PRE-LAUNCHED in Nigeria on December 3rd , 2013 BY MRS LUZVIMINDA MAC-ELVIS.
