Summary of the main activities undertaken for the public benefit in relation to these objects (include within this section the statutory declaration that trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit)
Provide free welfare care & housing for babies born of mothers whilst detained in prison As of 2024 POCCH has had a total of 46 children, (some of whom are children of prison detainees) within the year we have had 3 Admissions, 5 discharged, 2 of which were reunited with their families, 3 have been transferred to the halfway house and are in college or Senior Highschool. 2 boys have been transferred from the Well Baby Unit to the Boy’s Unit since they are no longer toddlers. Included in those admitted, is Daryl. Who was a former client of POCCH and was reunited with his mother. He ran away from home and came to the children’s home with marks all over his body and legs from being wiped by his mother with a phone charger wire. The child expressed his desire to be admitted in the children’s home because of the physical abuse of his mother. We urgently accepted him and filed a Child Abuse Case against the Mother. The Staff of the Girl’s Unit had a project to repaint the whole Unit to freshen up the Home by contributing to purchase paint and other materials and painted it themselves. Two of our young ladies celebrated their 18[th] birthday, and as a tradition we prepared a special party for them celebrating their debut. Thanks to our sponsors at “Kids around the World” we received multiple boxes of preloved clothes, shoes, toys, accessories, bed sheets that were all given to the children and children of the staff of POCCH. This year, we were given a special feature in a Local TV Program called “Kara Talks” were she interviewed 2 of our children who are children of prisoners, and the Founder to talk about the Ministry and their experience in it. After appealing for support on social media we were able to replace 8 toddler beds for our Well Baby Unit. During the Summer, the Houseparent’s of the Boy’s Unit conducted a “Basketball League” at the Boy’s Unit Basketball court and was open for the children of the community to join and play. We had over a hundred children for try-outs and were able to share the Gospel to them before each game. Thanks to our sponsors in Denmark ERP Family Fond, we were able to retile the kitchen and living room of the boy’s unit. We were able to celebrate significant holiday celebrations with the kids such as Easter, where the kids had a whole day of activities, easter egg hunting, arts and crafts, talent competitions. Heart’s Day, where the kids arranged a special day to show their love and

appreciation for our houseparents. And the highlight of the year, is the Christmas Celebration at White Rock Resort & Waterpark, where we were able to take 200 people (kids, staff and their families) to celebrate Christmas Day at the waterpark. Thanks to the collective effort and support of various sponsors.
With the Help of our German Sponsor through FCM, we were able to take the children shopping for Christmas to buy what they wanted for Christmas; receiving PhP1000 each.
For New Year, we were able to take the kids to the beach front to watch fireworks display as we enter the New Year.
PHILIPPINE OUTREACH CHRISTIAN ACADEMY Provide free education for the local poorer community that are unable to afford state education.
For the school year 2024-2025, there were 190 students enrolled, 105 of which are pre-elementary level and 60 are Junior High School Students. Of these students 159 come from the community around the school composed of indigent and middle-class families, 31 are from POCCH.
We were able to have 63 graduates in all by the end of the school year: 32 preschoolers, 19 elementary, and 12 Junior high school.
We were able to conduct various school activities in compliance with the department of education of the Philippines such as: Language Month (August), Christmas party, Bible Month (January), Talent fest (February), Science week, and local interschool sports competition (October).
During the school year the parents’ association were able to contribute for the needs of their children through fund raising and government requests most notable is tv monitors for 4 rooms to use instead of projectors and many cleaning materials. Our teachers were able to join trainings and seminars throughout the school year on the new curriculum being implemented and for safety such as the burns prevention and treatment education by noted expert Val Smith-Orr OAM.
PHILIPPINE OUTREACH CHRISTIAN FELLOWSHIP CHURCH
The church continues to support one of its members who is from a poor community, she is blind and elderly and struggles with high blood pressure, gallbladder and kidney problems. The church helps her with her medication and food expenses. We were also able to provide her with a gift pack for Christmas, to be able to celebrate Christmas with a special meal with her family.
The Church celebrated it’s 38[th] year anniversary with the theme “Harmony” where we celebrated the whole week with different activities that would encourage the theme “Harmony” such as, Sports activities for the men, women, and young people. Talent Night where members of the church performed different talents were food and drinks were available for purchase. A church prayer walk were over 100 members of the church joined in a united walk from the Children’s Home to the church,

praying for the town of Subic, all of it’s barangay (villages) and governing authorities.
The SHINE Ministry Team continues to support the children in the community by providing weekly spiritual activities and games, lifting the spirit of the children even though they are in very desperate living conditions.
The Youth Leaders of the churched arranged for a 3-day youth camp entitled “Reacquaint” which aims to teach the young people about reacquainting themselves to the truth of who God is, and what the Bible says about his children. There were 120 participants.
Every October since 2024 we celebrate “October Prayer Fest” where the whole church collectively aim to pray for 50,000 hours for the whole month dedicating a few hours a day each week to pray for specific needs and concerns of the church. This year we exceeded the goal and reached 61,885 minutes and ended the prayer fest with a prayer walk from the children’s home through the town to the church around 3 kilometres walking and praying for the whole town of Subic there were over 80 participants for the prayer walk.
This year we were able to baptise 21 new members of POCF.
During Christmas and Easter, the church prepares special activities, which provide food, games and with the Word of God, the team help over 200 children in 3 villages in the town of Subic.
POC PRISON MINISTRY Provide Christian Ministry in Prison and the local Area.
In the prison ministry we were able to continue doing the ministry work in the jails of Olongapo, Zambales, Pampanga and Angeles. There has been struggle regarding our schedule in Pampanga as they keep on cancelling our schedule of ministry, but still by God's grace many would attend our ministry. Around 300-400 prisoners hear the gospel every week from these 4 prisons combined. Sis Wendy Holmes together with Sis Katie and Sis Michelle of Your Kids around the World visited the prison ministry last January. A group of Bible School students from Denmark also visited POC and joined the prison wherein they shared testimonies and performed worship songs. By October, Sis. Gillian Pegler of Christianity Explored once again led a Christianity Explored course. 12 inmates from Olongapo finished said course. We were able to have our annual Christmas Party in the jails. Giving away almost P36,000 of cash prizes for the contest we organized, and 600 inmates received gift packs of toiletries as Christmas gift
