Casa Cittadini is a residential facility for girls like us who have been taken in by the Ursuline Sisters of Somasca. Most of us are orphans although there are some who still have one parent left. But in most cases, the parent we have left is unable to provide us with proper parental care nor give to us our basic needs most especially education. So we live now in Casa Cittadini and attend school in Valencia, Negros Oriental.
All our needs are being provided for by the Sisters. We are also very fortunate that so many kind-hearted people who are helping the Sisters do their work. We have sponsors, friends, and benefactors, both from the Philippines and abroad, who are helping us get educated, from elementary, to high school, and even until college.
There is also the Casa Cittadini Foundation whose members help in our daily needs. And we do not forget the countless private individuals who in one way or another, have contributed in feeding, clothing, and sending us to school.
How do we give back? Most important of all, we do our best to be good daughters of our Lord. We study hard and and in our small way, we help do our chores around our Home.
