Recently, the Philippines, particularly some parts of Visayas and Northern Mindanao had been devastated during the onslaught of Typhoon Odette. Many were left with destroyed homes and communities, while the most unfortunate ones even lost their loved ones. Worse, surviving a day for them became utterly hard as supplies ran out, jobs stopped, and almost everything seemed to shut down and the only thing left is hope for help.
Because of these, the Council of Department Student Government (CDSG), Council of Student Organizations (CSO), and Collegium, under the guidance of the Office of Student Affairs, agreed to work for joint advocacy of raising help for Typhoon Odette Victims through the donation drive called 𝗕𝗔𝗡𝗚𝗢𝗡 𝗦𝗨𝗥𝗜𝗚𝗔𝗢𝗡𝗢𝗡: 𝗔 𝗦𝘁𝘂𝗱𝗲𝗻𝘁-𝗹𝗲𝗱 𝗗𝗼𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗗𝗿𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗩𝗶𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗺𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗧𝘆𝗽𝗵𝗼𝗼𝗻 𝗢𝗱𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗲.
The said bayanihan targets to gather in-kind donations especially goods/food packs (canned goods, rice, noodles, etc.), water, tents, and hygiene kits, from UM Tagum College students through the facilitation of the aforesaid prime organizations.
The donation period shall run from January 17 to 27. Donations shall be accepted from 9 AM to 4 PM at the Office of Student Affairs. Donors would receive a certificate of appreciation upon turnover of their donations.
For more inquiries, you may reach CDSG President Jessa Mae Yangco Sajetarios, CSO President Ken Lenard Galinato, or Collegium EIC Arvin Englisa through their Facebook accounts, or just message the FB pages of the prime organizations.
All Student Organizations (SOs) and Department Student Governments (DSGs) are encouraged to facilitate the information dissemination and facilitation of the said donation drive on their levels.
The student leaders believe that it is great to work for causes like this one which has a great potential to uplift a community. Bearing in mind the values of UM, we are dedicated to the embodiment of not just excellence in academics, but in character as well.
As Oscar Wilde said, “𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙨𝙢𝙖𝙡𝙡𝙚𝙨𝙩 𝙖𝙘𝙩 𝙤𝙛 𝙠𝙞𝙣𝙙𝙣𝙚𝙨𝙨 𝙞𝙨 𝙬𝙤𝙧𝙩𝙝 𝙢𝙤𝙧𝙚 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙣 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙜𝙧𝙖𝙣𝙙𝙚𝙨𝙩 𝙞𝙣𝙩𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣.” So let us all be kind and benevolent.
