Lugaw and Eggs
Update taken from DLS-CSB SDEAS Facebook Page
by Giselle Montero
DLS-CSB Deaf was able to bring lugaw, eggs (from donors), and relief packs intended for PWDs to Philcoced. Sr. Valeriana herself asked the team to bring the food directly to an area. She said to the team (no introductions na raw), "Is that cooked food? Good, c'mon let's go, they can't wait." So team went directly to a community with her! Yan si Sister, action agad!
One team visited a Sign language teacher, Pam, in Tumana and also hoped to get in touch with other Deaf students who have not yet been accounted for. Pam was so touched with the visit and the needed food.
Tomorrow, October 1, the Deaf team will once again visit Marikina to distribute relief.
- Ms Chiqui will be bringing sandwiches to Philcoced - food intended for PWDs
- Will be repacking more cooked food later in the afternoon.
PADAYON! DLS-CSB calls for more donations. This time, please more food and water. Immediate Needs: medicines, water, food, cleaning implements - Will also accept toys, school supplies, bags for kids. Need also: transpo and drivers.
>> We say thank you to you donors, volunteers... Kudos to DLS-CSB SAO, and Benildean Deaf Association. Action agad!

The New People Power
Excerpt from Facebook
by Jason Quinones
My colleague and I and 2 Deaf students (as part of the SDEAS team), together with Sr. Valeriana and Sr. Antonette of Tahanang Walang Hagdanan went to a small community (Espana Village in New York, Cubao) affected by 'Ondoy'.
We could only bring porridge, boiled eggs and several packs of relief goods. You could really see the desperation and hunger in their eyes, especially the little children. At this point, they need cooked food but they need more than food to rebuild their lives.
So if you could help, please give what you can. Money, clothes, blankets, diapers, food, your time or your talent... believe me, any help would be deeply appreciated. If you know of any other small communities that have not yet been reached by relief operations, please go to them directly.
This is the new people power. It's time that we come together once again for our brothers and sisters...for our country!

Do Not Forget Them

Do Not Forget Them
There are many people in need of help, but two particular groups you are likely unaware of is the sector of People with Disabilities (PWDs) and the Deaf community sector.
Barriers exist due to structures and systems that are not PWD and Deaf friendly. These prevent them from having freedom in mobility to meet their needs. There are barriers to information where they miss out critical directions for support and advice for life improvement due to miscommunication and late arrival of information. In addition, due to lack of information and misinformation about their uniqueness and needs, other people easily take them for granted and misjudge their needs as asking for "special favors" but is actually a "bridging" effort to overcome barriers.
At this particular time, the PWDs and Deaf people are again in isolation. There are many relief operations going on for majority of the victims of the devastated areas, but they are unable to receive much needed support. Basic needs for food and clothes do not reach them as quickly as it would reach others who are able to move quickly or able to get hold of information in time. Can we be the bridge by helping them at this most critical time?
At present, the Philippine Council of Cheshire Homes for the Disabled (PHILCOCED) is working with other organizations for PWDs and the Deaf community in doing a scan of the affected areas, locating the victims and documenting their situation. Designated areas are now identified for the affected sector of different areas to go to for their relief goods or they are personally brought to the organizations where there are many affected members such as Tahanang Walang Hagdanan and the Karangalan Village with Blind people . PHILCOCED is now the collection center that makes sure all areas are covered.
And so, may I ask your help to extend to this group all the help you are also giving to others. If you are involved with organizations responsible for collection and distribution, please include PHILCOCED as one of your beneficiaries.
Individuals and groups who are looking for ways to help and have the network of friends and associates who may be able to send help, please contact:
PHILCOCED - Philippine Council of Cheshire Homes for the Disabl...ed - #8 St. Michael St., New York Ext, Cubao, QC (Bahay Biyaya, front of Immaculate Conception)
