New Shelters for Earthquake Victims
After a 7.2 magnitude Earthquake hit Bohol on October 12, 2013, and Typhoon Yolanda devastated parts of the Visayan region on November 8, we've been visiting the most affected areas with food, water, medicines and after the initial relief, all throughout 2014, with building materials. We have been coordinating with different organisations, such as ALPS (Aid Line Philippine Swiss), Swedish Round Table, etc, and have distributed 4000 Aluminium roof sheets, 60 boxes of nails and umbrella nails, as well as working tools such as hammers, saws, pliers etc. 354 shelters were built on Pangangan island, in Candavid and Loon in some of the most affected regions by the earthquake in Bohol. Below you see a few sample shelter that were built

With the support and sponsorship of ALPS (Aid Line Philippine Swiss) we have been constructing a high school on Pangangan island. The high school on Pangangan was completely demolished during the 7.2 tremor in October 2013.
RENOVATION OF ELEMENTARY SCHOOL IN DOLJO
ALPS has also been sponsoring the renovation of a multi-purpose room, as well as the playground, garden and outside walls of the Elementary school in Doljo. The Elementary school in Doljo had been partly destroyed in the many aftershocks that occurred in the months following the quake.
