Social Action’s programs are 2018 ready!

Something to remember and to look forward to…

The Archdiocesan Social Action Center highlighted different existing social action programs that will be empowered in the year 2018 and the years to come during the celebration of its 50th anniversary at Regional Major Seminary Gym, Catalunan Grande, Davao City last month.

ASAC Staff Coordinator Sr. Marisa Arado said that one of their programs is Alay Kapwa, in which other institutions will be involved for the Catholic schools. She also added that there will be trainings, “pakusgan pud nato ang skills training in partnership with the archdiocese and TESDA.”

She also said that the Parish Disaster Action Response Team (PDART) will be strengthened and integrated in every Basic Ecclesial Community (BEC) to increase the functionality of the BEC Emergency Response Team.

The last program she mentioned was the Sagop Kinabuhi Program 2 (SKP2), a program that helps the drug surrenderees who are now called Voluntary Submission for Reformation Persons (VSRPS).
