Sr.
Valeriana was so touched by
the pathetic lives of the severely
physically disabled who are
mostly abandoned by their kins
in the National Orthopedic Hospital.
With the help of the civic minded
citizens, she started putting
up sheltered workshops patterned
after the Cheshire Homes of
the United Kingdom. In a span
of five years, ten half-way
homes have been established;
Sinagtala for Boys the first
to be built in 1965 second was
the Sinagtala for Girls and
in 1968, the Bahay Kakayahan
was built, later on many workshops
were established by the organization.
