Typhoon Ulysses Emergency Food Donation and Its Distribution

admin — Mon, 14 Dec 2020 20:45:00 +0000

In order to provide immediate support to people everywhere suffering from the continuous calamities in the Philippines, our Rotary Club turned to Honorary Rotarian Baurile for advice. As Sergeant in the Army Reserve Command (ARESCOM), for which he would also be honored as the Best Enlisted Reservist of the Year in the Army Reserve for his unselfish and dedicated service to the people of the Philippines, he was leaving on a relief mission for the suffering victims of destructive Typhoon Ulysses the first week of December. He therefore suggested quick support for this mission and the club immediately provided him with ₱45,000 to purchase and package supplies, which consisted of rice, canned goods, cup noodles, biscuits and personal hygiene kits, that were distributed by the army with him as coordinator of the project to over 2,500 victims of flooding and displacement in the Province of Cagayan Valley.

We herewith want to thank our club members for their continuous support in making such humanitarian missions possible whenever and wherever the need arises.

Mayor Joan expressed her concern about the evacuee’s livelihood. According to her, some of the evacuees had applied jobs as nanny, massage therapists and household helpers.

In the meantime, 480 people out of 141 families from Laurel had evacuated in the gym of Splendido, Taal which usually operates as condominium/hotel & golf resort that is now shut down temporary to offer shelter as an evacuation center. Since nobody is currently in Laurel, provision of electricity has stopped. There is a small generator occasionally turned on for functions and largely cell phone charging.

Municipality of Laurel provides food supplies and basic commodity needs for the evacuees at Splendido. There are many other organizations provide and donate various items, food and entertainment to cheer them up.

Since the school education has been scheduled to be conducted at the evacuation center, RIMM provided school supplies such as notebooks and pencils to the students, as well as some toys for little boys and girls.
