10-footer van shipped through Manila

P7,000.00 cash raised used to buy canned goods

FUENTE OSMEÑA, Cebu City (27 Oct. 2010) -- The JCI "PARA ni JUAN" Relief Campaign in Cebu generated since Oct. 23 donations enough to fill in a 10-footer container van and cash amounting to P7,000.00.

Local JCI chapters that collaborated in the drive closed the receiving drop-in center at Fuente Osmeña here, and used the cash donation to purchase a variety of canned goods.

The local presidents sealed the container van at 6PM today and brought it to the Pier 3 yard of Gothong Southern Shipping Lines.

The Gothong firm will have shipped the van by 8PM from the Port of Cebu to the Port of Manila, and will further transport it to the JCI Philippines Headquarters on Alejandro Roces Ave. in Quezon City for repacking.
