P3M Worth of Rescued Gulay Distributed

Written by Administrator

From the first appeal last February 2023 to rescue buy tomatoes up to our recent Kalabasa rescue this July, we are continually awed by our donors' generous outpouring of support.

We have supported farming communities from Pangasinan, Nueva Ecija, and Ilocos Sur and have distributed more than 120 Tons of kamatis, sibuyas, and kalabasa to PWD groups, indigent families, the elderly, the homeless, fire survivors, and Mayon evacuees.

This Ignatian month, we honor all our donors and mission partners for their continued support and assistance.

Eternal Word, only begotten Son of God,
Teach me true generosity,
Teach me to serve you as you deserve,
To give without counting the cost,
To fight heedless of wounds,
To labor without seeking rest,
To sacrifice myself without thought of any reward,
Save the knowledge that I have done your will.

Amen.

TYF Chairman Fr Manoling Francisco SJ also visited Cebu Caritas Inc, where Fr Alex Cola Jr (president) and Fr Alden John Baran (program director) briefed him about their programs, including those funded by TYF.

Notable among these is Balay Caritas, a shelter project in Cansuje, Argao, where TYF contributed P2,250,000 for the construction of 31 houses for families whose houses were damaged during Supertyphoon Odette. Balay Caritas is also funded by Caritas Germany.

Through Cebu Caritas Inc, TYF also funded other Odette rehab projects such as the rehabilitation of the Academia de San Pedro Calungsod in Naga City, the Our Lady of Fatima Chapel in Barili, and the construction of a building in the Socio Pastoral Formation House in the Archbishop’s Palace.

He also met Gghie Hermunda, a TYF scholar who works part-time with the Cebu Caritas media ministry.

In a recent trip to Cebu, TYF chairman Fr Manoling Francisco SJ visited Brgy Inayawan, site of the former dumpsite where residents continue to make a living by scavenging.

There, he met with Enfant Du Mekong which manages six daycare centers with the help of community volunteers. The women go to the market and cook meals every day, which the men then deliver to the daycare centers and 60 elderly residents. In a daycare center Fr Manoling visited, the space had been expanded using hardiflex donated by TYF.

He also met with some of the winners of 12 e-bikes donated by TYF that were raffled off in December 2022. By driving passengers around the community, the e-bike owner earns approx. P400/day, with P50 spent for charging the battery.

During the visit, Fr Manoling was joined by representatives of the Cenacle Sisters who provide values formation classes in the community.

Last year, the Diocese of Surigao Social Action Center (DSAC) - Justice and Peace requested TYF to sponsor the construction of new fishing boats for families who had lost their means of livelihood.

The DSAC targeted three fishing boats for each of the 13 chapels in Surigao City.

Three fishing boats have now been distributed to Kenneth Benjie P Suazo, Jeffrey L Lipao, and Nexon V Lasondra of the Our Lady of Lourdes Chapel in Brgy Lisondra, Surigao City.

That's a total of 24 fishing boats so far, and 15 more to go!
