Post date: Mar 17, 2014 9:33:26 PM
The housing materials for the victims of typhoon in Pilar, Camotes, Cebu was delivered by the Philippine Navy last February 16, 2014. It took 2 days to unload all the materials from the navy ship because of its huge number. More than 50 people from the affected families helped hand in hand in order to unload the housing supplies from the ship. The materials were brought to the parish where the re-packing took place. Another 2 days were spent just to re-pack the 3,950 kgs. of nails and segregate the 4,752 pcs. of galvanized iron sheets. The distribution of materials was done on February 20, 2014. The affected families gathered in the parish hall to get the housing materials for the reconstruction of their houses. Before the distribution was done, a short orientation about rehabilitation program was given to the affected families. More than 1,000 families benefited the housing materials. The people are so grateful for the help that the Missionaries of the Sacred Heart (MSC) extended to them.
