It is now nearly a year since Typhoon Haiyan caused massive destruction through the central Philippines. Rebuilding infrastructure and people's lives is now the priority.
With the generous support of Global Giving, we have placed 6 volunteers with organizations working with Typhoon Haiyan survivors in the Visayas region. 2 volunteers are working in Tacloban, Leyte Province while the remaining 4 are working in Cebu. After one month's intensive training in Mindanao, the volunteers travelled to the Visayas and began their placements in early September.
Normila Sacar and Maharoden Limug are working at Gualandi Volunteer Service Programme based in Cebu. In the first few weeks of their work in Northern Cebu, they;
• Facilitated a supplemental feeding program and distribution of school supplies for 108 children in Hagnaya
• Assisted in the rehabilitation of classrooms at Central School in San Remigio
• Conducted two weeks of Pyscho-Social activities for children in Barangay Punta
The other volunteers placed are Rohaida Dimapinggun and Al-minah Solaiman, are assigned in Eastern Visayas Network of NGOs (EVNet) in Tacloban; and Rasden Azis and Norhamidah Musa, assigned to Rescue Assistance Peacekeeping Intelligence Details (RAPID) Inc. based in Cebu City.
By supporting this project, not only are helping with the very long road of providing rehabilitation and recovery to survivors, you are helping Filipinos to help one another and raise the Filipino spirit known as "Bayanihan' and help strengthen the bond between communities from different areas and faiths.
