October 1, 2009 Relief Operation in Tumana, Marikina
9/1/09
Deaf contingent went to Tumana (pam's place) to distribute goods. Went in 2 cars with roughly 200-250 relief packs. Community was so thankful because they have not yet received any relief even a stub. Some clothes were returned because food was more important.
Another group continued repacking. This time focused on food-rice and can goods.
In lieu of a b-day party, Nicky's 1-year old food party was sent to TWH thru Bahay Biyaya: Adobo and Binagoongang Baboy.

Lugaw and Eggs
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!
