Good Evening Brods,

Here is an update of the relief operation by the brods for this day, Oct 1,2009:

We have received a total of Php 40,000 from brod Lito Manahan late this morning. After which, we purchased the goods that have been suggested as immediately needed by the victims of Ondoy in Bagong Silangan.

Here is the breakdown of expenses:
 

10 sacks of rice(50kg/sack): 500 kilos X P31.60/kilo = P15,800
100pcs soap: 100xP16.85 = P1,685
300pcs noodles: 301xP5.70 = P1,715.70
plastic bags: P287.85
200pcs noodles: 200xP6.5 = P1,300
50 boxes of juice drinks(10pcs/box): 50xP52.25 = P2,612.50
200pcs corned beef: 200xP28.50 = P5,700
200pcs sardines: 200xP11.25 = P2,250
100pcs alcohol: 100xP20.65 = P2,065
100pcs coffee: 100xP17.95 = P1,795
100pcs milo: 100x17.65 = P1,765
50 kg sugar(1kg/pack): 50xP37.50/kilo =P1,875
 

TOTAL Purchased: 38,851.05
 

food for the brods: P540
drinks for the brods: P259
transpo expenses: P500
 

Grand Total: Php 40,150.05
(150 pesos may be a little sacrifice from the resident brods, so no need to reimburse)

From there, we have repacked 100 bags of goods that approximately a little less P400/bag. Attached are some of the pictures taken from the purchase of goods until repacking.

I would like to thank the Toledo family for volunteering thier house as a venue for repacking.

I would also like to thank brod Lito Bermudo for donating 1 ton of water (1000 pcs of 1 litre bottled water). But the problem now is that on how can we pick up the donations with the right vehicle. The residents can utilize 2 vehicles that can bring at least 500 bottles but it would be not best for it will cost us tranportation expense as well as time. As suggested by brod Alec, perhaps we could rent a jeepney for it to pick it up and maybe place it directly to the Toledo's place. But I am still not so sure if this vehicle can accomodate the products. Brods, any suggestion on this matter will be greatly appreciated. Or if any brod can help or can lend us a vehicle like a small truck, please let me know. Here is my number, 09172027625, or you can reply through this email. Thanks.

Here is the plan for tomorrow: (Oct.2)
 

We would contact brod Marlon on how we can give him bags of goods for relief.


We will also go back early morning to the Toledo's place and finish up repacking the goods. It will be a two way trip. First, we go to the relatives of brod Ace, then to Sito Veterans where the drop point of the Gabriela is at.
 

We will try to get home as early as we can so that we can also prepare for the typhoon coming. (As i was struck by the email of brod Jett and Ojie of the cancellation of work tomorrow.)
 

We will also try to plan on how we can get the donations (1 ton of water) of brod Lito B.

So, brods, there is it, the initial work and donations of Beta Epsilon to the community hard hitted by typhoon Ondoy. I am very glad and thankful that the residents are very excited and willing to help as well as our alumni who has been ever supportive to us and to our endeavors.

We are still hoping that the donations that will be generated from generous brods would be more than of what we have prepared right now. Brod Lito Manahan, if there will be a second wave of donations for this relief operation, please let me know asap so that I can inform the residents and we could prepare for it. Also, the Toledo family will still be glad to help as to what they asked me if there will be more to come.

I greatly appreciate all the support and efforts given by the residents and alumni, most especially the donors for the relief operation. I hope that we don't get tired of helping our brothers, and all who are in need. Thanks and more power to you!

Hail Beta Epsilon! Brighter be Thy Name!

Fraternally yours,
Aerson '05b

subject [be_matters] STORM KETSANA DISASTER FUND

iSUNDAY, September 27, 2009  (Sept. 28 in the Philippines)

Reuters: - The Philippines appealed for international aid to help ten of thousands marooned by flash flood

L.A. Times: - Tropical storm Ketsana slammed ashore the Philippines on Saturday leaving at least 72 people dead and thousands on rooftops in the capital worst flooding in 42 years. The government declared "State of Calamity" in metro Manila and 25 storm-hit provinces.

Brods, I woke up this morning reading the above headlines and other TV reports. Four years ago, we responded vigorously to a similar disaster in Albay province. Storm Ketsana has presented to us a much bigger challenge to help in any way our own people and country. I know that any amount that the Beta Epsilon Fraternity will be able to raise will not be significant in the realm of financial aid needed for this disaster, but it always feel good to be able to help.

I am therefore initiating a fund-raising for the victims of Storm Ketsana under the auspices of the Beta Epsilon Fraternity. For BEFAAA members, your contrbutions will be tax-exempt (right Sarcee?).

As a starter, I am pledging $200.00 to the Storm Ketsana Disaster Fund.

Marty M
