Hope For Taal

Taal Volcano erupted last January 12, 2020, spewing ashes in the areas of CALABARZON, Metro Manila and some parts of Central Luzon. This event has changed the lives of many people, especially those whose homes, families and livelihoods were directly affected. Many families are left homeless, being displaced in evacuation centers and homes of relatives in safer places. It has been a couple of weeks since Taal created havoc and the media has died down a bit, moving on to the next big story, leaving people stuck with their new reality- - - their reality of starting a new life from scratch. Compassion is more than giving a box of relief goods, but leaving people with the sense of hope to start anew.

 Today, 7 members of our TRF team 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. 50 families were blessed to receive these packages.

CALL FOR ENTRIES

Open to photographers and aspiring photographers.

Hopefull Magazine is looking for beautiful photographs of people aged 80 and above to feature in its next issue. Your subject could be your parent, grandparent, tito or tita or anyone you know who has the kind of wisdom that only comes with age.

Join The Ruth Foundation as we celebrate living fulfilling lives this November.

THE PHOTO

  • Full-color headshot (be creative, think Humans of New York)

  • At least 11×17 inches, 300 dpi

Recommended cameras: DSLR, HD digicam, or higher-end phones (12 megapixels and up)

THE WISDOM

The stories are just as important as the photograph. Have your photo subject give an answer in 1-3 sentences, Filipino or English, to any of these three questions:

  • What makes you feel most alive?

  • What one piece of advice would they give to younger generations?

  • What are their hopes and dreams for their loved ones’?
