Compassionate Communities for Taal

“I alone cannot change the world, but I can cast a stone across the waters to create many ripples.” Mother Theresa

Last February 3, 2020, The Ruth Foundation drove out to Barangay Ulat, Silang Cavite to give out 50 relief packs filled with groceries and hygiene kits to the church extension and neighbors of Evangel Baptist Fellowship. Yesterday, February 14, 2020, TRF teamed up with a couple of civil society groups, to share hope and compassion to the people who were evacuated from Taal’s volcano island at Seabreeze Residences, Barangay Talaibon, Ibaan, Batangas City.

 

178 families, including 30 Senior Citizens and PWDs, benefited from care packages containing hygiene kits and medicine (paracetamol, antacid and loratadine). 200 children received packs containing school supplies and t-shirts.

 

Along with Dr. Mae Corvera and TRF staff and volunteers, we would like to acknowledge the presence of the following, who made time to be a part of this heartfelt event:

 

Ms. Angie Laborte, TRF’s Board Representative

Pastor Hizon and volunteers from Greenhills Christian Fellowship-Batangas City

BFP Marshal Elaine Evangelista and volunteers of the Bureau of Fire Protection- Batangas City

 

We appreciate you all for being a part of our Compassionate Community. Blessings to you.
