In response, women proved themselves incredibly generous! They came in their various groups and among the groups was NUHOPSA – the national umbrella body of the regional branches of the Holy Child Past Students Association (HOPSA). The made their donations in materials and in cash and sang the SHCJ Anthem to the admiration of all.
