A film that tells the greatest miracle of the 20th century will be shown in special screening to raise funds for the benefits of malnourished children.
Hapag-Asa, a program of the Pondo ng Pinoy that feeds at least 120,000 poor children each year, will be the recipient of the proceeds of “The 13th Day”—a movie on the miracle of Fatima.
The 13th Day, a film on the three young children who witnessed the apparition of Our Lady at Fatima will be shown in cinema in time for the commemoration of the Birthday of the Blessed Virgin Mary on September 8.
The Pondo ng Pinoy Community Foundation and the Assissi Development Foundation which co-manage the feeding program invite the movie-going public to make a difference in the lives of hungry children by watching the film.
Organizers said it only “takes P10 a day or P1,200 for 6 months to feed a hungry child and help him improve his future.”
Being undertaken in partnership with dioceses, parishes and local organizations, the feeding program has already fed more than 500,000 poor and hungry children in the last five years.
Hapag-Asa is the local Church’s response to alleviate the problem of malnutrition and hunger which Pope Benedict XVI considered as “the most cruel and concrete sign of poverty.”
Both Pondo ng Pinoy and Assissi foundation are urging movie buffs to see the film and participate in Hapag-Asa’s mission to feed the hungry and malnourished Filipino children.
The movie’s release in Philippine theaters is made possible through the Marian Solidarity for Pope Benedict XVI.
Based on the memoirs of Lucia Santos, one of the three children of the apparition, “The 13th Day” re-create the true story of the three children chosen by the Blessed Virgin to bring the message of hope to the world.
