Noble Queen of the Universe Ltd. Inc. (NQULI), in collaboration with the Rotary Club of Roces D3780 and Project Michelangelo Foundation (PMF), gave support to the children suffering from progeria syndrome, during the 2nd Philippine Progeria Assembly, held recently at Rotary Center, Mo. Ignacia St. in Quezon City.
It was no ordinary day for NQULI founder Eren Noche, RESPECT: Noble Queen of the Universe 2022 Cristina Gonzalez and Noble Queen of the Universe 2019 Patricia Javier, with RESPECT: Noble Queen Earth 2022 and Ambassador of Environment Sheralene Shirata, who spent hours interacting with the ‘special angels,’ children with progeria, also known as Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome, an extremely rare, progressive genetic disorder which causes children to age rapidly, starting in the first two years of their lives.
“Courage, hope, purity, and kindness are just few of the lessons we learned from these ‘Special Angels.’ We are inspired by the bravery of these children struggling against the passage of time. Thank you to May God bless the PMF, headed by founder Jojo Sayson and its members for caring children and providing protection and support to the children,” said Noche.
