Dear Friend,
Warm greetings and thank you very much for your continuing support to our project assisting civilians displaced by the fighting between Muslim extremists and the Philippine military. The fighting has subsided now and disaster recovery is on-going but there are a lot of civilians especially Christian workers who have worked with Muslim families who does not want to go back to the city. They are afraid of a repeat to the fighting where Christian civilians where targeted by the extremists. This reporting period we are able to provide food supplied by a local donor to 21 families. We provided the transport so that the food will reach the intended recipient. We choose recipients living in remote villages for our support.
Again thank you very much and hoping for your continuing assistance.
Very sincerely yours,
Cora

Garden for processed food
Dear Friend,
Warm greetings and thank you very much for your generous support to our project helping displaced families resulting from the destruction of Marawi City. At present the situation is still dire with civilians still in evacuation centers and most staying with their relatives. In order to assist them, we designed an initiative of engaging a local producer cooperative managed by women to farm a 10-acre farm and plant this with a variety of vegetables, root crops and legumes for processing into ready-to-eat powdered food to be packaged in sachets. We are in discussion with a local food innovation center based in a university here that will be able to process the different vegetable products. We are aiming to process and distribute processed squash, sweet potato, taro, ladys finger, cucumber and mongo.
Developing the vegetable farm will take a few months but this is the only way we can effectively assist those affected by the Marawi crisis and other impending disaster coming to our area especially extreme weather disturbances that is happening of greater frequency.
Again thank you very much for your generous support.
Very sincerely yours,
Cora

Staying in evacuation center
Dear Friend,
Warm greetings and thank you very much for your generous support providing much-needed aid to those affected by the Marawi crisis. The ISIS-supported attack in the city have now ended with the surrender or death of ISIS combatants and rebuilding the city is now being pushed through. The problem of some of those affected is that they have no homes to return to at the moment and they have to stay a little longer at the evacuation centers. With this situation we continue to provide support to those who are in dire situation so they will be able to survive until they got new homes and livelihoods that is promised to be provided by the government and some international NGO's. This reporting period we were able to support 175 individuals staying in evacuation centers. We also continue to provide assistance via vegetable gardening to 320 home-based evacuees staying with relatives in 3 municipalities in Misamis Oriental.
Again, thank you very much for your kind help.
Very sincerely yours,
Cora
