Philippines: Farmland dodges local mudslides, recovers from storm; second fishery pond complete
Photo: Thanks to profits from our newly expanded fishery enterprise, our students will be better equipped at the start of the next school year.
Our facilities in the Philippines were rocked by tropical storm Seniang which hit the islands at the turn of the new year, leaving the region with 54 dead and 260,000 affected. It was a powerful storm spawning calamitous and deadly mudslides in the vicinity of our main campus. However, our elevated location just outside of the local town spared us from fatalities and severe damage to our girls home, 2 fishery ponds, hen house project, vegetable gardens, and banana grove. By God’s grace we are recovering well from the minor damage our facilities received.
