In seven weeks, through the generosity of our donors, we have rescued and distributed 52.8 tons of kalabasa from Nueva Ecija and Pangasinan. We will rescue 30 more tons in the coming weeks.
When we reflect on the generosity of our donors and partners on one hand, alongside the dire need of our farmers, we recall wise Portia’s words in The Merchant of Venice.
The quality of mercy is not strained;
It droppeth as the gentle rain from heaven
Upon the place beneath. It is twice blest;
It blesseth him that gives and him that takes.
