In behalf of the Dumagat community of Norzagaray, Bulacan, we would like to thank everyone who contributed to the success of the recently-conducted medical mission in Sierra Madre. Last weekend, our team provided medical service to approximately 200 IPs from Sitio Anuling. They were also provided with medicine and food which were made available through your generous donations. In addition, a group of volunteers conducted basic art classes for the children of the community. Again, none of these would have been possible without your help.

Our special thanks goes to the people who gave their time and expertise to ensure the accomplishment of our goals. We thank the doctors and nurses who carried out the medical consultations despite the weather conditions. We also thank the doctors who, regrettably, were not able to participate in the medical mission but nevertheless, provided time and knowledge when necessary during pre-event consultations. Again we thank everyone who gave donations in cash and in kind. Your generous gifts went a long way and were very much appreciated. Lastly, we wish to thank our corporate sponsors B Takeda, Bayer, and Unilab for their kind gifts of medicine that were very crucial to the success of the project.

The Dumagats are one of our many communities and there are more out there who are in need of aid and assistance. Hence, despite the many hurdles that are inevitably part of organizing community activities, we will continue sharing what we have, doing what we can, and contributing towards nation-building. And as we go along the way, we hope that we will still be able to count on your support and generosity and that you will continue to be one with us in trying to achieve our vision of a better Philippines and a better way of living for our Filipino brothers and sisters.

Maraming salamat po.
