PHILIPPINES: START AGAIN PROJECT

After distributing Noche Buena packages to 1250 families in 7 different typhoon-struck areas in the Visayan regions, the Noche Buena Project crew decides to move on to Phase II under the new programme - START AGAIN PROJECT.

The START AGAIN PROJECT aims to help rebuild the spirits, lives, and communities of typhoon-struck areas in the Visayan regions with their 7-POINT PLAN including rebuilding schools, medical missions, soup kitchens, school supplies drives, and the like.

Beginning with the community in San Joaquin Parish, Palo, Leyte, the START AGAIN PROJECT hopes to reach as many people as possible.
