Elsie Gatches Alabang

The Mansion

This pictures were taken at Elsi Gatches in Alabang. An institution who care for mentally retarded clients. The place was owned by Elsie and Samuel Gatches a kind and helpful couple.

The Mansion was a place where you can see classrooms and a chapel. According to them every Thursday they hear a mass in that place. 

The cottages were very open and organized. They separate girls from boys and group the clients according to the IQ level of the clients.

The tour to Elsie Gatches was very tiring because the place was very wide. But still it was fun, all the clients were smiling to us every time we pass by their cottages and saying "hello ate".

This picture is the clinic in Elsie Gatches, they only have one doctor in this institution. There were 25 beds in this clinic, and they also separate the boys to girls even when admitting them in this clinic.
