U.S. Marine Staff Sgt. Jonathan P. Grimm, a Santa Ana, Calif., native, speaks with Sister Alessandina Casas during a community relation’s event April 15 at the Duyan Ni Maria Children’s Home in Angeles City, Philippines. Both Philippine and U.S. service members visited the home to play with the children as well as drop off donations of toys, sport equipment and school supplies. Duyan Ni Maria Children’s home provides children with temporary or permanent shelter, home-care and formal and non-formal education, said Casas. “We are open to all orphan children, single mothers and the elderly,” said Casas. “We currently take care of 54 children, 11 infants and 11 house parents.” The service members are currently participating in Balikatan 13, an annual bilateral exercise, which provides a venue for Armed Forces of the Philippines and U.S. military forces to develop and continue to enhance interoperability across a wide range of military capabilities. Grimm is an intelligence analyst with III Marine Expeditionary Brigade, III Marine Expeditionary Force. Casas is the founder of the Duyan Ni Maria Children’s Home. (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Cpl.
