Internally displaced persons, who are victims of 2013 rebel attack in Zamboanga City, line up inside a thatched hut at the Joaquin Enriquez Memorial Sports Complex where the Mindanao Examiner Regional Newspaper distributed food packs and donated small cash to camp leaders.
ZAMBOANGA CITY – Some 200 street people and war refugees benefited from a small love drive launched by the regional newspaper Mindanao Examiner in Zamboanga City in southern Philippines.
Employees distributed late Thursday afternoon food packs – chicken spring roll, steamed rice and bottled water, and small cash donation – to over 100 internally displaced persons at the Joaquin Enriquez Memorial Sports Complex.
The distribution of food packs was made possible through the coordination of IDP leaders Gammar A. Hassan and Ibrahim Ahmad, and other parent-leaders of Zone-D and staff of the Camp Coordination and Camp Management Welfare Desk and the Department of Social Welfare and Development.
On December 24, the community newspaper also handed out cash and food to street children in Zamboanga as part of its social commitment and annual tradition of “paying it forward.” (Mindanao Examiner)
