Now, close to a year after, no rebuilding assistance has arrived for them. Our presence here in Purok Bangkal began with our distribution of roofing materials for seventeen families last March. Just last month, we were able to finish building one house (measuring 10x16) for a family of nine, whose house was also devastated by Yolanda.
The house we built had one bedroom, a living room, kitchen and toilet (w septic tank) with an all concrete floor and GI sheet roof. Purok Bangkal was one of the places here in Sagay that bore the brunt of the super typhoon and many residents saw their homes and bancas damaged or lost in the wake of Yolanda.
There is more work for us to do in Purok Bangkal helping rebuild houses. We simply cannot wait for the government to act. We are moved to help ease the suffering of our brothers and sisters here in Purok Bangkal because we see their needs.
Join us in our efforts to help rebuild these four houses. Help us better their lives by building for them adequate shelter. We need building materials: cement, GI roofing sheets; nails, lumber etc. You can give in cash or kind. Pls. PM us if you want to help. Together we can make a difference in Purok Bangkal.
