To date,  Damascus has already been in operation for over 10 years. Quite a number of individuals have already stayed with us and are starting to live rehabilitated lives. We hurdled alot of trials and difficulties, especially in terms of funding,  in our short span of operation and we expect more challenges ahead. But as we have learned and in turn each our residents, all of the challenges we face  are God's way of strengthening us in our life  journey, whether or not we choose to serve him or just try to live as good Christians.

Damascus exists because we want to serve God and show our love for him. To share his comfort to others in need as He has done for us.

This is the time for all of us to take an active role in the fight against drugs, poverty, illiteracy and all other social injustices.We can no longer stay in the sidelines and  in the security of our homes, and watch as many in our community and our country continue to suffer from social ills. Drug addiction can happen to a  friend, a relative or even a family member. We have to open our eyes to the problems plaguing our country and get  involved.

We are counting on people like you to help  make a difference in the lives of our poor and marginalized brothers and sisters.

Yours in Christ,
Robert Tiangco
