A little Act of Kindness on Thanksgiving Day<\/p>\n

A small group of Filipino-Americans in the US have made a difference and brought hope to a little over 1,000 victims of typhoon Ulysses in the Philippines on Thanksgiving Holiday 2020. The Guardian Angels of America Foundation (GAAF), its volunteers, donors and supporters have joined efforts in providing Tapsilog meals to 355 typhoon victims in Marikina and 350 meals to Rizal residents. GAAF also extended 300 meals to homeless families affected by Anonas fire that happened a few days before the typhoon, near the Sta. Mesa Compound of the Polytechnic University of the Philippines (PUP). The feeding was done in collaboration with the PUP Lingap Komunidad.<\/p>\n

The pandemic around the world has changed a lot of things in an unprecedented way, but the essence of giving and being thankful on Thanksgiving are manifested in the hearts of Filipino Christians. They have expressed their gratitude and shared their blessings to people who are already fighting to survive Covid19 and now struggle the destruction of typhoon Ulysses that struck the Philippines on 11\/11\/2020. Stay-at-home directives and the lockdown have given all of us time to pause and reflect on the many blessings that we enjoy around us here in America. In our humble way, we answer to the call for help from our fellow kababayan.<\/p>\n

On behalf of the GAAF board of directors, we would like to thank the GAAF Philippine Chapter Team for successfully carrying out the Thanksgiving Feeding Project. They woke up as early as 3:00 am to prepare & pack the food, load the water in the truck and head out to reach the destination in time for lunch. They went out there knowing the risk of getting infected by Covid19 but did not hesitate to deliver the food to typhoon victims, some of whom are not properly protected with face masks and not following social distancing. Their commitment to serve our kababayans are worthy of respect. May the Lord guard them against Covid19 and continue to bless them with good health:<\/p>\n
