OUR JUNE 2014 OPEN HOUSE FUNDRAISER WAS A SUCCESS!
Our fundraiser was held on June 1, 2014 in a beautiful home setting and in true Filipino-style with plenty of food, desserts and dancing! All of the planning from the entire H4H Team paid off and we were proud to finally showcase our Power Point presentation of the Cangumbang Community-Evacuation Center. We even introduced an H4H Linedance and as you can see we had a good time! We’re thankful to everyone who came, even those that couldn’t make it helped with donations and umbrella purchases. Even after the event was over, more donations were made and the amount we raised was enough for the GoAbroad Foundation to continue the Sunday feedings for ~75 kids in Cangumbang through the rest of this year! We’re so thankful to everyone who supported us in our mission to help others. We couldn’t have done this without you! Maraming salamat (many thanks)!!

OUR THEME THIS MONTH IS UMBRELLAS
During our last meeting in April 2014 we decided to put together a Fundraising Open House. We’ll be serving a few Filipino dishes while we try and sell the “coolest” yellow umbrellas. You can’t find them in stores and they have a cover that’s attached that can be lengthened to cover the wet part of the umbrella. They’re called drip catcher umbrellas and they’re really cool! We’re also going to figure out how to make a Filipino dessert (or is it a drink?) called Halo-Halo. So instead of a lemonade stand, we’re thinking about having a Halo-Halo stand.
Of course from all of the fundraising activities we’re going to be making a monetary donation so that Elsa Thomasma and VFV can help finish rebuilding the community center.
Here’s a pic of the umbrella we’re selling:
If you want to email us to learn more about our fundraiser, you can email us at info@hopeforhaiyan.com and we’ll try and answer your questions!
*************************************************************************
But we aren’t the only ones who are making campaigns. You may know someone who is Filipino, or just wants to help anyway! By donating to Catholic Relief Services, UNICEF Philippines, American Red Cross, or any organizations that you know are sending money or goods, you can help immensely in this big step toward reconstruction.
You may even take it upon yourself to mail goods. This will still help in just about the same way as any other. The point is, we would love if you helped in any way you can figure.
