Yesterday, we brought some goods for the Taal evacuees. Some observations:
1. Charity is not dead. In both the Church and government facilities, donations abounded.
2. The Redemptorist shelter at the Divino Amor church compound was more ready to house families in their dormitories for seminarians. The DSWD center was in the deserted AFP-PNP housing where we saw some families really turning them into livable studios.
3..The Redemptorist basketball grounds became a soup kitchen preparing nutritious meals with fresh greens and lots of garlic. In the DSWD campsite, families organized per block for their meals,but some families had to cook ahead meals for their students.
3. We did not see any donations other than sacks of rice at the Redemptorist shelter. DSWD had sacks of old clothes on the stage of their multi-purpose hall, which hosted a Sunday worship when we arrived. At the other building, donors could drop off goods at either the food or nonfood room.
