About US
“Do We Have HEART” is a charity with a heart for children. We are a charitable and educational organization preserving the wholesomeness of childhood.
Anthony Dezilva
President and Community Leader
Anthony is a strong proponent of empowering our children to resolve ‘blockers’ themselves. To be in control of their own well-being. As an educator he continues to create leaders, who go out and create other leaders; enacting the butterfly effect of empowering a generation to be in control of their own future.
