The Rotary Club of Emory-Clifton (RCEC) received 20,000 pairs of Crocs shoes from Caring for Others through Makabayan Georgia, Inc. RCEC and the Filipino-American community in Atlanta boxed and shipped 1,000 pairs to Puerto Princesa, Palawan, Philippines to be distributed July/August 2017 to indigenous people in remote areas of Palawan. They are intended for low-income, under privileged children and young adults -- to provide them some protection from diseases acquired from walking barefooted. Budget permitting, RCEC and local volunteers will also provide food during distribution. The local Rotary club and barangay/public officials will identify suitable recipients.
In order to make this outreach program possible, we ask monetary contributions from you to ship the rest of the shoes (1,000 pairs), to fund expenses (vans, gas, driver), and to feed recipients and volunteers during distributions.
Thank you for your kind heart and generosity!
Yours in Rotary,
Pia Valeriano, Secretary/Treasurer of RCEC, President Nominee
