Deaf Volunteers Proud to Support Inspired Nations

By: Patrick Silver Padao

We decided to reach out and call other Deaf volunteers to support and help gather the donations for the typhoon sendong survivors in Cagayan de Oro, Iligan and Dumaguete. I kept my best to cooperate with the Hearing Student Leaders in our school. Dave Mariano is the head organizer of the volunteer group "Inspired Nations."

“It was really inspiring who worked hard for the typhoons survivors, We as a Deaf Volunteers participated in God’s service contribution to save the survivors in Cagayan de oro, Iligan and Dumaguete. I’m so happy being part of contributions and a big help for the future Deaf Advocator who really can help to the typhoon survivors.”




Forty seven hearing students participated with three Deaf volunteers, with me were Raniel Delos Reyes and Emmanuel Jabrica all had volunteer schedules from December 26-28, 2011


On December 26, we went to Department Social Welfare of Disabilities in Pasay where we gathered and prepare for the donations. Meanwhile on the 28th, we gathered money donations from the clients or the people who pass by in Ayala Mall. Eventually, we had a concert to make a better contributions for the typhoon sendongsurvivors .


During the school vacation and the holidays we found the time to support relief preparations. However, I truly miss having time with family. I explained the good reasons to my family to help them and support them in gathering the donations.We were so happy to contribute a lot for the heartfelt typhoon sendong survivors in Cagayan de oro, Iligan and Dumaguete.

“I was great to work many rice donations in DSWD Factory last Dec. 26. My Hearing friends who spent time with us in working hard as one community. We gave laughs, serious preparations but truly we contributed for the typhoon survivors. Because we should be part of them in showing how the Deaf supports them and serve for them. We gave us a lot of patience and giving bless to them because Its important to give them in what they really need. We should show how to love and care for them.”
