Kaiasse Doce Pares extends help to Yolanda victims

CEBU, Philippines - Kaiasse Doce Pares of Reunion Island hands over 3, 000 euros worth of relief goods to typhoon Yolanda victims in northern Cebu.

Master Jean Claude Calimoutou, his wife Jasmina and daughters Julie and Lea went to the storm-ravaged areas particularly in Tabogon, Sam Remigio and Bogo to personally give out relief goods that included bags of rice, noodles and sardines.

The Calimoutou family of St. Suzanne in Reunion Island, France also committed to rehabilitate the Sr. San Roque Chapel in Barangay Camoboan, Tabogon.

“We are the brothers and sisters of the Cebuano people that is why we can’t abandon them at this time. We will do whatever we can to help,” said Jean Claude.

“I am happy that they had shared some more after seeing the devastation,” said Doce Pares Supreme Grandmaster Dionisio Cañete, ODL (Order of Datu Lapu-Lapu).

SGM Cañete also thanked President Robert Didier of Region Reunion Island for extending help to the Cebuano people who are still reeling from the devastation brought by the super typhoon.

Meanwhile, Jean Claude, a second grade blackbelt, is undergoing an extensive training at the Doce Pares World Headquarters in preparation for an International Martial Arts Festival in France next month. (FREEMAN)
