Runggiyan's
first ever Awareness Month takes place this July, starting with
the launching of this website!
Runggiyan
marks the start of it's Awareness Month on July 3, 2004. This website,
was launched at an event held at CyberWorld internet cafe in Tacloban
City. Participants included our members and beneficiaries, the local
media and Evis Net who have kindly donated us internet space.
The
Foundation is proud to have its own website and hopes that it will
increase awareness of the organization and it's work, help to raise
funds and volunteers, and also provide vital information to women
and children in need.
Other
Awareness Month activities that will take place in July include
the San Juancio Bridge Walkathon. On 31 July 2004 over 500 participants
will walk over the 2.2km bridge in a showing of solidarity of the
people of Leyte and Samar in their concern for disadvantaged women
and children in the region. To take part in this fun and unique
opportunity please contact us for an information pack.
