Singapore Supports Sorsogon (101 photos)

Apr 24, '07 11:35 AM
for everyone

Singapore Supports Sorsogon is the project that brought us -- 23 volunteers from Singapore and Manila -- to the sleepy town of Prieto Diaz in Sorsogon province. We helped to build houses for Gawad Kalinga. The beneficiaries are the families whose houses are constantly battered by typhoons. They are a hardy bunch of people. Lots of lessons learned from this trip including why construction workers eat like construction workers.

We helped to build for only a few days. The beneficiaries have been toiling for 2 months. Volunteer groups came before us but there are 50+ houses yet to be built. I hope more volunteers help out before the next typhoon season comes.
