Our Moto: Were Better than Fed-Ex! We will deliver your relief goods to any place in the mountains! Overnight Delivery Guaranteed! 🙂 For the past few days we’ve been trying to maintain a supply chain to the more remote villages in Benguet. We need more volunteers since at the moment we are carrying close to 500 kilograms a day split between only 10-12 people. The terrain is rough and because of the slides we have had to reroute quite a bit making travel longer. (Video by JP Alipio) For those who would like to help out we also need portable solar panels to install in the remote villages so that we can maintain communication lines to be able to respond to their needs electricity won’t be reconnected in these villages for at least 6 months to a year and we will need to give them a supply of power just to maintain communication. Greenpeace has already donated 2 solar panels for other international NGOs this is also an opportunity to start fresh with green technology in the mountains sustainable off grid power is now the need in 99% of the villages in the remote areas of the Cordillera. For International NGOs and those with means out there, we need cables and pulleys for construction of trams to make transport of sick and injured much easier as well as the transportation of much needed supplies and farm goods for sale -this will be a faster solution and less prone to slide damage than rebuilding the roads to the remote areas.

Onbeautiful Seabrook Island, nestled on the coast just south of Charleston, South Carolina, lies Camp St. Christopher It offers over 300 acres of beach, marsh and maritime forest and multiple facilities including meeting and conference centers, lodging, and worship centers. We’re excited about keeping you up-to-date on our progress and informing you about how this project was made possible. The process began last August when the State Energy Office put out information that there were going to be .9 million available in grants for alternative energy projects for non-profits. As soon as we found out, we immediately started getting in touch with local Charleston non-profit organizations to inform them about the opportunity. When St. Christopher responded about being interested, we setup a meeting for late September 2009 and went out to view the grounds and start planning. The RFP from the State was issued in early September. The government was looking at multiple factors before approving a non-profit like St. Christopher for the grant. These included visibility of project, potential job creation, overall benefit in terms of investment and payback of the project (they needed a minimum return of .50 dollars to spent). The grant writing process was long and hard, but St. Christopher didn’t have to worry about that. SES took care of making sure the grant was completed correctly and on time. Anything we were able …
