“Kita Naman”, is a waray-waray phrase commonly used in eastern Visayas, a reminder of the devastating effect and lesson of hope during Typhoon Yolanda last November 8, 2013.
Now, it’s time to pay-back the blessings and help that we received during those times of challenge and calamity. The Rotaract Club of Kandaya Tacloban came up with the “Kita Naman”, a relief operation and a flagship project that brings help and assistance to its beneficiaries.
The first activity was held last April 16, 2022. A total of 168 beneficiaries located in five different evacuation centers at Abuyog Leyte received help from the “Kita Naman” relief operations. This was made possible by the help of our partner clubs and agencies in District 3860, (Rotaract Club of Kankabato, Rotaract Club of Tacloban, Rotaract Club of Central Tacloban and RAC Calbayog) and the 546th Engineer Construction Battalion, we were able to collect and distribute relief goods, clothings, and hygiene kits to typhoon-victims.
Our strong linkages with Rotaract Club of Kankabato, Mindanao State University, Malungon Youth Development Council, Paaralan para sa Sarangan Organization, CM and Malungon Youth Movement, also made the second wave of relief operations possible. This was held at Balucawi Evacuation Center, Abuyog Leyte last May 7, 2022 and a total of 137 beneficiaries were given relief packs and hygiene kits.
Recently, last May 24, 2022, the Rotaract Club of Kandaya Tacloban launched its 3rd wave of relief operations at Brgy. Utanan, San Antonio Hilongos, Leyte in partnership with the 546th Engineer Construction Battalion. Sharing with the beneficiaries them a total of 100 packs of hygiene kits and canned goods.
