Varying weather
conditions brought about by the changing global climate place every
neighborhood in a very challenging condition. This is most importantly felt and
seen in an archipelagic country like the Philippines .
The recent Typhoon Gener
caught Metro Manila by a sustained rain showers and thunder storms with a
shallow low pressure area which exposed the vulnerability of its residents from
various dangers not to mention the destruction that it caused to their valued
properties. The flood reminds many of
the devastation brought by Typhoon Ondoy and Pepeng in 2009 where thousands of
lives and properties were affected.
Due to the needed
response among neighbors, individuals with common experience, realization and
purpose bonded to gather their strength and aspiration in a group called
volunteers for resilient communities.
Moved by the vigor of solidarity (bayanihan) that is naturally seen
among Filipinos whenever urgent need arise, the group envision to enhance the
values of productive volunteerism with a dream of realizing resilient
communities where people help others to help themselves.
VISION:
We
are a self-conscious individuals bonded by a common unity under the spirit of
service and mutual support that aims to help realize resilient communities.
To
attract people with a heart and compassion to serve, a mind of common sense and
a vow of practice that builds an interacting authentic communities.
