Grocery Donations For Victims Of Typhoon Pepeng
In a show of community spirit and service, the SRBCL community as one donated a van load of food and old clothes to the typhoon victims of “Ondoy” last October 7, not knowing that a mere two days after, the city itself will be affected by Typhoon Pepeng.
Donors from outside the SRBCL community mainly close friends of Teacher Renee, and a few of the SRBCL families responded to the call for a second round of donations, for victims closer to home.
Cash donations collected was enough to make 235 bags of rice with assorted groceries, 150 of which went to Barangay Boquig of Bonuan, one of the most water-logged areas of Dagupan City during the typhoon, and the remainder of the grocery bags went to some selected families in Mangaldan and the families of the SRBCL faculty severely affected by the calamity. Mrs. Balbina Reyes, a longtime resident of Barangay Boquig and grandmother of SRBCL pupils Gene and Glaiza Reyes, acted as coordinator for their area, while Teacher Anna Aguinaldo was in-charge of selecting the families in Mangaldan.
SRBCL is extremely appreciative of the generosity of Ms. Annabelle Arceo, Ms. Susan Capalaran, and Ms. Natalie Yap.
