BOARD OF DIRECTORS

Laudes, Victoria

LAUDES, Victoria Ordiz

Founder, President

Victoria Ordiz Laudes is now 78 years old, a retired school principal who became a widow at the age of 39 with six children ages 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, and 15, two years after becoming a believer in Jesus Christ in 1982. From that day onward, she is serving His master. The arduous challenges in life she passed through as she managed her family to survive built her faith stronger and more dependent upon God’s mercy and grace. She and her children were able to cross the bridge, though the youngest among the siblings was called home by the Lord after practicing a little while as a pediatrician. All these situations motivated her to continuously love God and others, serving them even more, both in the church and community. Driven by the organization’s mission and vision, together with some friends and relatives, she founded the Shepherd’s Blessed Hands Foundation (SBHF), which was established on June 6, 2023, in McKinney, Texas, USA.


HERNANDEZ, Josephine Laudes

Treasurer

Josephine Laudes Hernandez was 13 years old when she was made an orphan by her father. She experienced the hardships of life at a young age. By God’s grace, she graduated as a nutritionist and became a nurse here in Texas. She worked in different fields of professions before she landed on managing her own restaurant family business, the Inihaw Avenue Filipino Kitchen in Irving, Texas. Along her journey in life, helping the less privileged classes of people remains in her heart; she was one of them when she was young. She is currently the treasurer of SBHF.

Laudes-Carnelio, Rovile

LAUDES-CARNELIO, Rovile

Secretary

Rovile Laudes Carnelio was also an orphan by 11 years of age, two years younger than her sister, Joy. Similarly, she also experienced the challenges of life with very limited resources for survival and education. With her course in business administration, she left the Philippines to work in the Middle East and other parts of the world before she came to the United States. Serving the Lord by sharing His blessings for her with others remains in her being. Giving is a vital part of her lifestyle. Being a digital business owner, it is always her prayer to be blessed so she can be a blessing to others. She performs her duties for the foundation as its secretary.
