What happened

When Typhoon Uwan struck Catanduanes, Kapatid mobilized quickly through Jesus Christ the Lifegiver Church, led by Ptr. Jaime and Sis. Aimee Almonte. The response deployed emergency food packs, hygiene kits, clean water, and construction materials—corrugated sheets and lumber—to help rebuild damaged homes.
