Helping Hand of CKSC School

Our school, Chiang Kai Shek College made a lot of efforts to help the victims of super typhoon Yolanda by creating various volunteer activities and collection of donations. Students, teachers and other school staffs helped donating and collecting instant necessities like water, ready-to-eat foods and clothing. The collected donations of CKSC community was brought to the Armed Forces of the Philippines and was received today. Kudos to everyone who gave their helping hands for the benefit of the typhoon Yolanda victims, because just like what Miss World 2013 Megan Young said, "as one, we can help society."


Moreover, CKSC also made an allocating campaign of adopting students from the affected areas of the super typhoon Yolanda. A total of 28 students from Sacred Heart School and Leyte Progressive School in Tacloban city have transferred to CKSC provided with free tuition, school and PE uniform, and a dormitory to stay in case they don't have a relative to stay with in Manila.
This is our school's ways to help alleviate the aftermath of the strongest typhoon. It's great to hear that a lot of countries are helping us get through this devastation but the bad news is that after watching the heartbreaking news of Yolanda's aftermath, another heartbreaking news of the crazy government segregating the relief packs and stamping their name on the plastic containers of relief goods is circulating. There were a lot of controversies about the relief operations. Rep. Lucy Torres-Gomez said that the barangay voters were the only beneficiary of the relief goods. There should be no system or rules implemented when there's such crisis like this! We need a revolution!
