September 2020 Project Update:
A little meal - A lot of hope
Yapak, Philippines:
The staff at Oasis Hotel have sprung into action - responding to the increasing needs within their community. Joven reports a dramatic increase in food insecurity and even starvation among the most vulnerable people in the community.
Volunteer and hotel staff now spend 6-7 hours each day preparing and serving meals to an average of 300 families each day. To date, donations have made it possible for 5400 meals have been served, as well as a total of nearly 1000 food packages have been distributed.
Due to schools remaining closed, Strong Roots has been able to assist with providing much needed food and basic essentials. This is for not only members of the community, but also the sponsor students along with their families to help them in this particularly challenging time.
On a positive note, church was recently permitted to meet again in person with everyone sporting both mandatory masks and face-shields.
