Our Guiding Principles
LoobInner AwarenessIt is important to practice awareness and compassion with one's self. Nurturing a healthy relationship with ourselves will, in turn, reflect in how we connect with others.
KapwaCompassionNo person should ever feel alone. It is by acts of compassion that we are truly able to awaken how connected we actually are with everyone.
DiwaCommunity Well-BeingThe strength of society lies in the spirit of compassion. When people are committed to practicing empathy and actively promoting the wellbeing of others, the community begins to heal and grow together.

“Circle of Hope can turn the darkest of nights into the most radiant of mornings. Just as they've transformed Teen Barkada and our nanays into a resilient COH family. Friday mornings were the best days of my week back then! I feel like I fulfilled my life's purpose when I volunteered with them.”

“I facilitated a parenting workshop about early childhood and it was so fulfilling to be around a group of open minded, proactive and concerned individuals. We had the privilege of hearing their experience of childrearing and learned how much love was at the core of each parent.”
