Loyo Elementary says... 

‘Thank you St Kevin’s - salamat”

Thank you to all the generous families who donated tins of food to support the Loyo community.  These foods will assist the families to add a little protein to their meal once they mix it with rice. We also decided to send $250 to provide 1kg of pork to each of the 50 families in Loyo. 

A little protein is better than no protein!  

The school also asked for some competitive board games that the children could play during their lunch break. One suggestion was chess boards.  So, with the money we have in the Loyo ‘kitty’, we purchased 15 chess board games and sent them across to the Philippines together with the many tins of food.  Hopefully these all arrive before Christmas.

Please enjoy reading a few email responses from the staff who work for Kadasig Aid in response to our very generous donations :

Wow St Kev’s continues to be so generous and committed to their Community. The food in the boxes and the chess sets will be warmly received.  - Anni Miers

It is wonderful to see the generosity of St Kevin’s school community. It really is fantastic. I was talking to Emely the other night & she was saying how they love these tins of seafood. She said they would never go & buy something like them. She said their sardines ‘stink’!!  She said ours are supreme & so good. Also, our friends love having something sent by their friends in Australia.

Love the chess sets, they will be magnificent. They sure do like playing chess. – they have competitions also.

Thank you sincerely for all that you and your community do. - Glenys

This is such a great help to the families and the generosity of you and your community is very much appreciated. - Cris 

We truly were committed to this project and have all shown how we were able to STEP UP and BE MORE!   

Thank you!
