POWA feeds and gives

Officers and members of the Panay Overseas Workers Association celebrated their second anniversary by holding a feeding and gift-giving program in their hometown in the last two weeks of July.

Led by their president Lindy Paclibar, the POWA group feted 80 senior citizens from Sunfuan, Teslar, Traciano and  Dumarao towns in Capiz on July 16, and 26 indigent children from Sitio Hanayac Barotac Viejo, Iloilo on Jul 23.

The kids each received a school bag packed with paper, pencils, erasers, sharpeners and toys. The feeding program was the group’s first project in their hometown. Paclibar expressed heartfelt gratitude to the donors, individuals who contributed to the success of their fist ever mission. – Marites Palma
