Jeloxen Canalita:
Sharing Parental Love
I want to let the children feel a parents love, Jeloxen Canalita, young
houseparent at the Visions of Hope Rose of Sharon House of Friendship (ROS)
tearfully explains. Having grown up as an orphan, I never experienced
that myself.
Jeloxen, Mommy Jelox to the children, has served at ROS for a total of two
years the longest-staying among the ROS houseparents. Only 22 years old
this year, she started her houseparent duties in 2010 but left after a year to
pursue an education degree while also serving as a teaching assistant at Visions
of Hope Christian School (VOHCS) in Muntinlupa City. She returned to
ROS in 2013.
She confesses that her childhood dream was to become a soldier, but because
she has a big heart for children, she loves being in ROS. Aside from enjoying
the friendship of other ROS sta, she takes delight in sharing her life story

Roberto Tablatin Jr., a former street kid, who

a chef, shared his story during the annual

Bible study sessions for them. She tells them that even though they are not
with their parents, the Lord has a better plan for them and that many people
