In September 2018, Typhoon Mangkhut devastated several areas in the Philippines, including the squatter area of Lower Rock Quarry in Luzon province. Through support from our donors and the generous contribution from Global Giving, Bernasol Educational Foundation was able to work with Sambayanihan Ministries International, an NGO in the Philippines, to meet the immediate needs of the local people who had been affected by the storm.
Working alongside Sambayanihan's president, Pastor Joel Agpalo Tejedo, we were able to provide local families with food, medication, and hygiene kits immediately after the typhoon left the area devastated. We also set up a feeding program for the local children and trauma counseling services for anyone who had been affected. In January, we took part in a medical mission that provided the typhoon victims with much-needed medical and dental attention. Finally, we have had a hand in rebuilding local homes and roadways.
The people of Lower Rock Quarry continue to recover and heal from Typhoon Mangkhut's impact, both physically and emotionally. They continue to be supported by Pastor Tejedo and his organization. We hope to work with this organization again in the future, but for now we consider our project of aid relief for the typhoon victims to be successfully completed. Thank you to Global Giving and to everyone who helped make this possible!
