Project Description
Reconnect is our back-to-school program in Marillac Hills, Alabang every July of each year. Marillac Hills is a welfare institution that helps young girls who suffered abuse recover and rebuild their lives. We give writing workshops, TESDA skills training, donate school supplies, and other needs of children to the shelter. Also, part of the project is the donation from Rotary International funded through Rotary Foundation Global Grant no. 1980100 with official project title: Livelihood for Abused Women which was awarded to the club last June 26, 2019. This center includes housekeeping training room, kitchen training room, equipment, appliances, and furniture.
