The iAmUPHi Alumni Group and UPAA Iloilo Chapter quickly responded to the call for help of Sara and Ajuy, Iloilo – two communities badly hit by Typhoon Agaton with its torrential rains and floods.
Fifty (50) packs of assorted goods, including canned goods, instant chocolate drinks, biscuits, noodles and sanitary items, were turned-over to Ajuy, Iloilo, through Darlene Cabrera Alvarez on April 12, 2022. Another set of 50 packs was turned over to the Sara, Iloilo, on April 13, 2022, through Dr. Chippy Ubiernas- Gallinero. Both Alvarez and Gallinero are alumni of UP Visayas.
The donations came from various alumni and friends of UP Visayas through the coordination of Dr. Marovi Celis of the iAmUPHi and UPAA Iloilo Chapter.
The groups are still welcoming donations which can be deposited to:
