Tulong sa Pagbangon Relief Operation

written by Sr. GS Louise Antoniette Daquilanea

2020 is a tough and remarkably difficult year. We battled many challenges, not only the pandemic that forces people all over the world to contend with a new normal but we also faced some calamities that affected many Filipino families. One of these calamities is Typhoon Rolly that happened on November 1, 2020 and Typhoon Ulysses which crossed the same track and made landfall on November 11, 2020.

November 12, 2020—Iloilo Girl Scout Council conducted a five days donation drive called “Donasyon Para sa Pagbangon” for the families affected by Typhoon Rolly and Typhoon Ulysses in Isabela, Cagayan, Albay and Catanduanes Girl Scout Council. The donation drive is an initiative project of the Service Auxiliary Volunteers for Emergency and Relief (SAVER Team), SeniorCadet Planning Board (City and Province), and Cadet Girl Scouts Troop 1 & 17.. Many donors from different places donated canned goods, noodles, sacks of rice, clothes, face masks and cash donations. Titas and girls from different schools also volunteer to repack the donations received.

November 21, 2020—The donations collected were sent to different councils that were badly hit by the typhoons. PassFast Cargo offered free delivery of the donations to the beneficiaries. The Iloilo Girl Scout Council is truly grateful to all the volunteers and kind donors that became part of the donation drive.
