Municipal Office visit

Maytag-ob, Eastern Visayas, Philippines
Then to Matag-ob. There met with town council office, finance officer Jinky, and the social worker,  Ricky, as much of efforts under DSW. He understands language of community empowerment and got excited!  Seem well organized.  Gym where they had designated shelter very damaged , but only 10 deaths.  Not much aid though as a smallish community.  1800 home kits from Swiss and about 500 more to cover all homes totally destroyed. biggest concern now is farmers-- crops destroyed, all livelihood, and now rice very dry so will be poor crop. Coconuts take 5-10 years to be productive, the other main cash crop.  Shortage of seedlings.  Told them about the cold press coconut oil rather than copra as better value. Very excited to hear Naomi describe the CHE strategy and want her to come and start there! Pledge their cooperating.
