Dear Friends,
We are very pleased that our efforts to
deliver some form of relief for our devastated kababayans
which has resulted to date to $13,010
(Oct 24). Photo on the right, was taken on October 9

raising jamming session where the first cheque donation
for $7,500 was turned over to ShareLife.

We thank our supporters, donors, and pledgers. Special
thanks to another alumni association who has joined
fellow alumni schools CHS, SBC, UST in supporting us
with their generous donation both from CPUAA and also
from some of its alumni members. Special thanks to Edwin
Arroz, outgoing President and Josie Dayao, incoming
President. And of course very special thanks to Ateneo's
Boy Reyes, PCUAA President for continually sending our
updates to PCUAA member school leads.
We continue to blitz on our Ondoy Relief campaign
for the next 2 weeks or so, before we remit our next
cheque to ShareLife.
We are still targetting to reach $15,000 within next
few weeks. We are imploring your cooperation to help
us reach our target.Philippine victims are now in the
rehab and rebuild phase while they struggle to rise
from the devastation. Medical needs are growing as disease
is a natural path of such calamities. We, who are here
can only try to be enabling agents of their rehab-rebuild
process. Hope springs eternal.
Please pass on our online donation site: http://www.upaatoronto.org/ondoy.htm
Special thanks to Livvy Camacho of UPAA who has put
donation boxes and organized 50/50 draws for our campaign.
Special thanks to Elvie Tan of CHS who has gone from
school to school in York to post our posters and has
reported positive feedback. Special thanks to Rene Sevilla
and Jess Perucho who are always forefront to take the
pictures to share e-wide. They and many more are our
own 'CNN' heroes and heroines.
Thanks and much respect,
Ondoy Task Force

our goal. Thanks to a CHS alumna, Melissa Unidad who has
been " pushing on" to get us to our goal. Melissa has raised
a total of $600 over 3 days from the Rotary Club and from
another Rotary member. She is definitely a (Holy) "spirit
on fire."

we have the Power to Transform....
This is the wow moment of our fund
drive.
"It shows how we can be collaborative
in our efforts as we join hands to feed one more child,
to have one more mother cook a hot meal, one more father
to repair or build new house as they start to accumulate
another set of photos, belongings - which they have lost
in the flood on their way to restore dignity in being".
