Ponder over these touching and profound words from Sr. Valentina

Valentines Little Heaven, located in the quiet inner lanes of Colva, Goa, is more than an orphanage—it is a true home for children who might otherwise have had none. From the moment one enters, there is a sense of warmth, belonging, and care that defines life at the Home. Established in 1995, Valentines Little Heaven is founded on a simple yet powerful commitment: to nurture children toward a healthier, happier, and promising future. The Home provides a holistic approach to child welfare, offering safe shelter, quality education, skill training, nutritious food, healthcare and hygiene, counseling, and opportunities for arts and recreation. Under the dedicated leadership of its founder, Sr. Valentina Mascarenhas, the Home has transformed the lives of countless vulnerable children. This is not merely an act of charity, but a space where children discover love, dignity, joy, and the confidence to realize their full potential in a supportive, family-like environment. Life at Valentines Little Heaven is enriched by a wide range of extracurricular activities and shared experiences, creating an extended family of boys and girls, some of whom are now preparing to step confidently into independent life. For many, this Home has been a turning point—offering freedom from hardship and vulnerability, and becoming a true “heaven on earth” where hope and opportunity replace suffering.
