LETTER TO ALL START HERE SUPPORTERS, sent through the START HERE Facebook Group:
Hi everyone!
First of all, it's finally November 26 and we're closing the submission time for START HERE artworks. BUT if you still want to contribute, don't hesitate to send your piece to starthere.rebuild@gmail.com. We'll figure out a system for it and will announce it as soon as possible. We understand that everyone's busy and artworks take time to make.
Also, I've got a bit of bad news to share. We have decided to forego working with WE Philippines because we've been having trouble getting responses from them. Elbert and I really want to be able to donate the money we raised as soon as possible, hopefully before the year ends. However, we still believe in what they do and admire them for the great effort that they put into trying to change poverty and provide more educational opportunities to underprivileged children.
So, with that said, if you guys know of any organization that's continually working to help the Ondoy survivors, please send us a message with the name of the organization and contact details so we can reach them.
We're currently looking into PCF (The Philippine Christian Foundation). They are working to improve the quality of life in poor communities through education, nutrition, health, medical and family enhancement programs. But we're really open to any suggestion, preferably those who are really focused on Ondoy survivors and rehabilitation.
Another thing, we already have Php13,400.00 that we can donate and we're hoping to raise more. Thank you to Comics Every Thursday for sharing a portion of their proceeds during the Mangaholix last week to START HERE. We will be releasing a complete list of benefactors soon, just to thank them for all their support.
Finally, to those who have submitted artworks this past week, we've received them but we're sorry that we haven't had the time to post them yet. Work and school have been really hectic but we'll make sure to post them. Thank you so much for submitting. [Arvin de Leon, Marjorie Limbonhai, Hazel Lynne Tan, Jerusha Ong, Emereauldine Eliseo, Pauline Garcia, Kristy Anne Ligones, Jejomar Limbo, Jackie de Luna, Moe Twain]
