It takes 4 hours land trip from airport Ozamis to the affected barangay in Zamboan ga Del Norte. Most of the houses in this barangay are nearby the river thus almost all houses werewashed out due to the strong typhoon Vinta.
As per barangay records, there are 50 families who lost their houses, 17 dead and 2 missing.
Despite of the distance and difficulties in accessing the road, our team never hesitate to continue their trip and bring help to those affected families in remote areas. Thus, on January 29, 2018, the nacsearelief team led by Cris, reaching out the affected community and conducting relief operation.
About 80 families were given food and clothing.
Afterwards, housing materials was delivered to each family who lost their homes. Each household received materials such as galvanize sheets, nails and etc.
The people were so happy and grateful towards the donors of NACSEARelief. Some are very emotional with teary eyed upon receiving the materials. It was indeed a tiring day yet a happy moment seeing grateful smile to each person who received help.
