Daycare pupils get supplies from Japanese foundation

CEBU, Philippines - A Japanese teacher who heads a foundation in Hiroshima, Japan visited the typhoon victims in Sitio Lunas, Barangay Cadaruhan, Borbon, Cebu to give out school supplies for daycare pupils.

Tomoe Yokohagi, chairperson of Hiroshima-Philippines Friendship Society, made true of her promise to return to the place where she first visited to distribute relief goods two weeks after super typhoon Yolanda in November last year.

Yokohagi was accompanied by her daughter when she returned to Borbon town last week. Aside from bringing school supplies, Yokohagi promised to construct a daycare center for the pupils who are using the chapel as temporary classroom.

Yokohagi told The Freeman that some of their friends in Cebu asked for relief goods last year for the typhoon victims in northern Cebu. According to her, their group visited different towns in northern Cebu like Daanbantayan, Medellin, and Bogo City when a friend invited them to also come to Borbon.  (FREEMAN)
