In Pictures: The MAKE YOUR MOVE's Post-Disaster Relief Operations and Storytelling

Last August 19,the MAKE YOUR MOVE's Post-Disaster Relief Operations and Storytelling commenced. Twelve volunteers offered their precious time to help and the 135 Families of Isla Pulo happy. It was a very fun and fulfilling experience for me as the initiator, and for them as volunteers who went to the lone island for the very first time.

Now here's a summary of what happened, in pictures.

Umpisa

I am a very courageous person. I always take challenges as hard ways of teaching a lesson, and they make me a better person. Giving up was never part of my vocabulary. Not until memories went back.

Kung merong kahinaan ang bawat tao, iyun yung pagbalik ng mga alaala. I never battle with memories because if I do, I will end up losing my sanity and worse, myself. 

URGENT: MAKE YOUR MOVE!

The monsoon is raping the entire Metro Manila and the nearby provinces. While we are affected, we have to understand that we are still blessed. We have a safe shelter. We have second floors (in case the monsoon penetrates the first) and we have internet.

We are lucky so we have to make a move.

Yours truly is the initiator of the HELP Minda-NOW! Project, a relief operations that aimed to help the Sendong victims in Cagayan de Oro City. This initiative garnered 3 sacks of used clothes and immediately turned over to the Center for University Extension Services of the Pamantasan ng Lungsod ng Maynila (having PLM as the drop-off point)

Note: It was supposed to be turned over to GMA KF but because of the distance problem, I just dropped it off to the PLM-CUES.

And now, I am knocking at your doors again to seek your help and be a part of this new initiative. I believe you an me, if we do something collectively, we can make a change.

So, if you wanna help, you can drop off your goods at:

THE PAMANTASAN NG LUNGSOD NG MAYNILA (for Intramuros and nearby schools)

Contact Vberni Regalado at 09157819310

FOR U-BELT SCHOOLS

What you can give:

• Old clothes
• Blankets, towels, toiletries
• Ready-to-eat food (sardines in pouch, instant noodles, bread or crackers)

We don't accept monetary donations. 

Drop-off date is from August 10-12, and the deployment is scheduled on the 13th of August.
