History
In 1981, One Japanese came to San Isidro as a JOCV (Japan Overseas Cooperation
Volunteers) Specialist of agriculture. After his term, he worked as a trading
company employee in Taiwan. The life in Taiwan was very rich. But he couldn't
forget the real situation in the Philippines, so he quit his job and went
back to San Isidro with his wife to open the orphanage in 1997. For more
