Tanging Yaman Foundation, Inc. continues to conduct relief operations with its partners, the Archdiocese of Cagayan de Oro's Social Action Center, Xavier University's Tabang Marawi, and St. John Vianney Theological Seminary. In the recent relief operations, care packs for the evacuees were packed by the volunteers and distributed to evacuation centers in Iligan City. We thank donors and volunteers for their generous assistance and continued support.
A friend shared her frustration that her volunteer work for various Church groups was not yielding the fruits she was expecting. A livelihood program was mismanaged; a feeding program proved unsustainable; an organization was falling apart due to infighting. Was she in the right place, doing the right kind of work? Or was God calling her to serve elsewhere, some other way?
Dear Friends,
On July 6, 2017 a magnitude 6.5 earthquake hit the province of Leyte around 4:30 pm as per the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (Phivolcs). A strong magnitude 5.8 aftershock was recorded last Monday, July 10, 2017. Close to 300 aftershocks were recorded by Philvocs.
Since we started the OneForMarawi Donation Drive many groups and individuals responded to our call for help to our brothers and sisters in Marawi City by sending cash/check and/or in-kind donations. As of July 13, 2017, we already reached Php 4,863,571.40. We are pleased to share with you that aside from the evacuees in Iligan City, our Soldiers and Mechanized Battalions also received your bags of relief goods.
Aside from sending Relief Packs to Evacuees in Iligan City, Tanging Yaman Foundation, Inc was able to send assistance to our soldiers in Marawi City through all your assistance and support. Seminarians of St. John Vianney Theological Seminary (SJVTS) helped in the repacking of relief packs for 1250 Soldiers in Marawi City.
