The Taal Volcano eruption last January 12 has displaced many of our fellow Filipinos in Batangas and forced them to flee their homes and evacuate to centers in Batangas, Cavite, and Laguna.
True to its values of service and community, De La Salle Santiago Zobel School (DLSZ) readily organized a relief operation in the aim of giving immediate help to those who are in the evacuation centers. DLSZ, through its Social Action Office (SAO), raised a campaign to call out for donations of food items, bottled water, toiletries, blankets, mats, and usable clothes. Aside from bringing their donations, many of the employees, students, alumni, parents, and residents of nearby villages generously gave their time and effort in ensuring all donated items were distributed immediately to the chosen evacuation centers of the school, namely, Alfonso Central School (central hub for the nine evacuation centers in Alfonso, Cavite), Relief Center Hub of Bauan, Batangas, and Our Lady of the Pillar Seminary in Imus, Cavite. The SAO and its volunteers have continued the relief operations up to this day.
DLSZ extends its heartfelt thanks to all those who donated, volunteered, and offered prayers. For those who may still like to give, you may drop your donations at the SAO or call (+632) 8771-3579 local 568 to find out how else you can help.
