The Bernasol Educational Foundation has been quite busy with the cleanup of the aftermath of Typhoon Mangkhut. Many villages have experienced extensive damage to their homes and land which makes any progression for the cacao planting almost impossible at this time. So, our focus has been in rebuilding and providing food, shelter, and continued education for the children and financial training for the adults.
The communities have come together to help where they can to help those who were harder hit by the Typhoon. It’s been an amazing journey for the people of the Philippines coming through such a tragedy and we are so blessed that everyone in our villages have survived and are preparing to go forward with the cacao farming that will help them become a self-sustaining community.
