- Community Building: She organized family workshops and outreach programs designed to foster unity and strengthen the bonds of the congregation.
- A Family Effort: Alongside her husband, Daisy enlisted her six children to help care for the elderly, teaching them firsthand the value of missionary work and social responsibility.
