Meeting Sister May

My friend, Timmy, introduced me to Sister May!!! I went to visit Sister and loved her instantly! Sister with all smiles!!

Where sister lives which is also her office

I visited Sister to pick up some charm bracelets which I bought from her to help her raise funds for her projects! They were outside by the porch making bracelets

The religious charms which she gets from Italy, the Vatican

And here is the finished product! I love charm bracelets!!

Sister designs other bracelets and she sends them to Italy and sells them there

Reception of the office

Sister belongs to this order

This is another item sister designed and sells to raise money. I like how Sister thinks! She told me that instead of just asking and asking for money as support, she instead make products which she can sell so she can raise money. That way she does not always have to ask

Sister’s materials

More designs – door hangers

A leather factory donates their scrap to Sister and she makes them into bracelets which she sells in Italy

Here are more of the bracelets she makes which are ready to be shipped to Italy

Package to be sent to Italy. This package was so heavy maybe 50 pounds or more and Sister carried it so easily!!!

Sister’s trinkets in her office

She did not let me leave until I had her Italian Coffee. Sister used to serve and live in the Vatican in Italy which explains all her connections with Italy. She continues to visit when she can. She told me that she helps Italian couples adopt kids from the Philippines. She is the one who puts them together.

We sat to chat a bit as Sister tells me all the things she does! I LOVE HER! because she is such an ANGEL! Busy doing many things to serve others

Sister feeds 500 families in Calauan ( together with other big organizations). I am hoping to visit with her one of these days.

While we are having delicious coffee in the heat 🙂 Sister tells me that she does not want to put electric fan in her house/office because it will make you use the fan all the time even if you really don’t need it. And she’s telling me this as she wears her hobbit that looks so warm and she is sweating 🙂 This makes me love her more – her simplicity is admirable!

Oops, even her napkin is from Italy 🙂 They send her many things!

and Wow!! Boxes and boxes of pasta from Italy!!! Donated to her

And as I say goodbye to Sister, I pay her for the bracelets I bought and then on the way out she gives me a whole box of pasta which will feed thousands! 🙂 I came out of there bringing back more than what I gave her – a case of pasta and a feeling of fulfillment meeting such a wonderful person who does so much to serve others!! I feel so rich again!
