Brazilian actress, model, TV host, and Kapuso star Daiana Menezes regularly brings rice, milk, bread, and biscuits, and spends time with some of the students at Scuola Fliglie di Maria Immacolata (SMFI), a grade school in Parañaque..
Daiana is supporting the school which is run by Brazilian nun Sister Lucy da Costa who has been residing in the Philippines for the past 21 years.
In the photo with Daiana and Sister Lucy are the six of the 88 kids (they’re not orphans) who study in the school.
“The twins are 11 years old and they were brought by their parents who used to pick them up regularly, but and now, the situation is different so they’re full time living with Sister Lucy, who they call Lola Lucy, in the school, now their house in SMFI,” Diana says.
“Then there’s Mary Jane, 5, 4-month-old baby Juliana, and two boys who live here with their mother who in order to have a place to live, helps clean the school,” adds Daiana, a graduate of the New York Film Academy.
The “Brazilipina” (Brazil + Philippines) who is also an international model/endorser, painter, pianist, performer, and designer, and vlogger, calls for kind-hearted people to help SMFI.
The institution is open for donations of any kind. Donations can be sent to their address at 53 Dona Irenea St. Irenevill Subdivision SUCAT Paranaque City or contact sister Maria Lucy at 8260132.
