Eleanor Moodey with our scholars
Dear Friends,
Greetings from Leyte. Few weeks back, we were visited by Ms. Eleanor Moodey, a Global Giving - UK representative in order to see progress of our work and how well we manage and implement various projects especially in disaster condition in the magnitude of Typhoon Haiyan. She visited sites were we are implementing safe sanitation, vegetable gardening, communal hand-wash in schools, giant rainwater collectors and home-building. Best of all, she was able to meet with a few of the girls whom we are supporting in order for them to go back to school. The discussion focused on how well the girls are doing in school, what are their accomplishements, problems and how well our project is supporting the girls. Supporting women and girls to college and technical education is indeed a great initiative and it provides the girls with a bright future.
Again, may I thank you for your kind support.
Very sincerely yours,
Cora

Dear Friends,
Greetings from Leyte and thank you very much for your continuing support to our project providing education to very poor girls affected by the typhoon. Without your kindness they will not be able to go to school. While our main aim is to send the students to college education, we realize that there are short technical courses running from 6 to 12 months that the students can enroll and hence find jobs early on. In this case we have decided to send 17 girls to technical schools sponsored by the Technical Education Skills Development Authority. The schools are located in the cities of Tacloban and Ormoc. The courses that the girls are taking includes culinary arts, computer hardware servicing, agriculture technology and tourism. Aside from their tuition, we also provided for their uniforms, weekly allowance, school supplies and technician's tools.
We will continue this important initiative as this will make the girls productive, provide them with a good future and help them economically.
Again, thank you very much.
Very sincerely yours,
Cora

Continuing college education for girls

Going to college
Dear Friends,
Greetings from Leyte. This time we are continuing our effort to send girls and boys to school. We are selecting the poorest families to be enrolled in school. When we started we were thinking of only sending girls but we found out that boys too badly need help. We selected schools run by the government because they are cheaper and quality of education is excellent. School requirements are also minimal and affordable. The parents share in other expenses such as uniform of the students and board and lodging. This reporting period we were able to pay for the tuition fees of 13 college students studying at the Visayas State University in Baybay, Leyte and taking-up courses in agriculture and education. The students came from our home-base in Albuera Municipality. We selected them because they have good family backgrounds and industrious.
Thank you so much for your kind help. Hoping that you will continue supporting us.
Very sincerely yours,
Cora
