New community rises for typhoon survivors
DARAGA, Albay – For the Operation Compassion International Inc. (OCII), rebuilding communities in Daraga town in Albay means more than giving houses to survivors of last year's typhoons.
“We are here to rebuild communities not only physically, but also spiritually, emotionally, socially and in all aspects of human living,” said Cielito Habito, chair of the OCII’s Amore Purpose Driven Community, during the groundbreaking rite of the permanent housing project in Daraga on Sept. 29.
The P17-million project is part of a bigger program to “empower disaster survivors to bring about their own progress, and to foster the birth of a new community,” Dong Cucio, project manager, said.
Construction began in October. A total of 218 two-story duplex-type houses made of wood and concrete will replace the tents and plywood shelters at the 2.1-hectare “transit shelter” in Barangay Anislag, transforming the place into the Amore Purpose-Driven Community.
