Open Letter to Save a Friend
Lita Asis-Nero, Executive Director of the Foundation for Development Alternatives, wrote us about an appeal to help Gil Giolagon, the Community Development Officer of Foundation for Development Alternatives. Gil Giolagon is supposed to work with us through SHEC (St. Hannibal Empowerment Center) for the capability-building of DSOP (Dike Side Organization of Punta). The following is the content of the letter:
If You Could Save Sandy P. Giolagon’s Life
This Time Around, Would You?
Of course, your answer is “Yes!”. But who is Sandy P. Giolagon?
And why would you help save his life for the second time, and how?
