Dear Friends,
Tacloban City is on the road to recovery but there is still much work ahead especially on issues such as Disaster Resilience. 2 of our volunteers, Aidah and Mei-Mei, are working there with Eastern Visayas Network (EVNet). They provide support and capacity to EVNet so that they are able to develop their programs.
Recently they have been involved in the training of a total of 66 Civil Society Organization (CSO) ‘champions’ in Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR). The CSO leaders, from both Leyte and Samar provinces, received training to enhance their knowledge and skills in Child-Centered Community-Based Disaster Risk Reduction. These CSO ‘Champions’ will serve as promoters and mobilizers of child-centered DRR in communities and local government.
EVNet is a local partner of United Nation Children’s Fund (UNICEF whose project will help local NGOs to develop child-centered disaster risk management (DRM) programs and integrate them into local development and emergency plans.
The work of our volunteers is greatly helped through your support
Thank you
Mariam
