I was spared by the typhoon

A message from Eleanor and Anton Villegas, from Dumaguete City, Negros Oriental Island, Philippines

“Thank you for all that you are doing to help!

We are very well and we were spared from the typhoon Haiyan and so together with the Youth for a United World in Dumaguete, we are carrying out several initiatives to assist those affected by the typhoon.

We have launched this slogan: “I was spared from the typhoon. I want to give up, to give back!” A night to raise funds for the victims was a success were we did a link up with the Y4UW in Cebu who were repacking relief goods and the Y4UW in Manila who did their fundraising too. There is also a video from some Y4UW from other countries participated Giving Up something to Give Back to the Philippines!”

Youth for a United World

We are the “Youth for a United World (Y4UW) Movement” founded by Chiara Lubich in 1985. It is part of the wide ranging Focolare Movement. Our age varies between 17 to 30 and we come from different walks of life. In fact, our main characteristic is universality. We are youth from all over the world and we belong to different ethnic groups, nationalities and cultures. Many of us profess different creeds, whilst some of us don’t have a religious belief; however we are all passionate protagonists striving to build a united world.
