Dear Friends,
Greetings and thank you very much for your generous support to send typhoon affected students to college. This initiative is indeed a big support for hard-up students and their families and the best thing is that we don't ask them to maintain a specific grade but only to pass the semester so that eventually they will be able to graduate and be an asset to themselves and their families. This reporting period is summer season and most of the students that we are supporting are back in their families.
In order for them to be productive and earn something while on short vacation, we engage some of them as volunteers to assist in the various projects that we are implementing in Leyte. This reporting period for example we were able to engage 5 students on vacation to assist our safe sanitation project by painting the toilet bowls produced by local artisans. We provide the volunteers with some allowance that they can use when classes open.
Again, thank you very much for your kind support.
Very sincerely yours,
Cora
