Orphans are the most vulnerable children in the world. They live without the support and care from their biological parents. They were probably abandoned by their parents or have lost their parents at an early age. The St. Francis Orphanage of Zamboanga diligently took the responsibility of substituting and replicating the love of the parents for these children. The orphanage has already served the community of Zamboanga for over 32 years.
