The University of the Philippines Alumni Association CNMI Chapter is calling on all its members and alumni of the University of the Philippines to lend a hand in providing assistance to the victims of the landslide that hit Southern Leyte last week.
UPAA officer Aurora Sabangan had sent invitations to the group’s members since Wednesday to ask for the group’s support for a fundraiser spearheaded by the Overseas Filipino Workers Support Group, whose chairperson is UPAA member Gabriel De Guzman.
“With our adviser, Fe Calixterio, [we] are appealing to your generosity to support their fund drive for the families affected by the Leyte landslide tragedy,” she said.
Sabangan said the collection from the fund drive would be remitted to the Philippine National Disaster Coordinating council for purchase of food and emergency needs of the affected families and volunteer aid workers helping the beleaguered families in the Philippines.
Members and community members interested in helping out in this project can contact Fe Calixterio through her e-mail at fecalixterio@hotmail.com or De Guzman at flash_babe@yahoo.com. Sabangan also said they could reach welfare officer Mary Dait at the Overseas Workers Welfare Administration office at the Nauru Building.
