Several times each year, Ms Hedy Chan, an educational assistant at Jean Vanier CSS, arranges for relief packages to be delivered to the Salesian Sisters, in the Phillippines, who then distribute the goods to the needy throughout the islands. Hedy collects non-perishable food items and educational materials. Aid is especially important right now, as many communities continue to struggle with the aftermath of a deadly typhoon. Thousands of people are homeless, and hundreds, if not thousands dead or missing. These supplies allow for temporary schooling to continue and to feed those in distress.
Seated below is the local chapter of the sisters and their provincial. For more information or to contribute, please email Hedy at hedyychan@gmail.com
