UHAW Project Update
Thanks to your generous donations, our President, Angel Vano, recently headed to the Philippines to hand deliver proceeds made from the UHAW Project.
How did your donations directly help the victims of Typhoon Haiyan (Yolanda)? During the second week of April, Paul visited Lawaan, a barangay in Samar and was able to buy school uniforms for the almost 1,000 children attending Lawaan Central School. So far, 200 slippers have been distributed in parts of Tacloban (the main city shattered by the typhoon). Our president also toured neighboring barangays and towns to extend help to local clinics thanks to the aid of the Department of Health in Tacloban. Please continue to pray for those who lost their lives and those who lost loved ones during this devastating tragedy. The UHAW Project was started by our FACSPS president to send basic aid to victims of mass disasters and crises in the Philippines. The recent disaster of Typhoon Haiyan (Yolanda) resulted in an overwhelming destruction of many lives. We still need to help those affected and continue to accept any monetary donations for this cause. "Uhaw" is a Tagalog word meaning "thirst." FACSPS gives MANY THANKS to those who supported our project:
