TCFWA sends more donations to TCF Ormoc

It seems like yesterday when Carol Hanlon and Mel Rom first visited Ormoc on a Textile Clothing Footwear Western Australia visit.  That was in July (if I remember right), 2007.   Refer to this post for accuracy:  http://www.tcformoc.com/2008/05/carols-i-shall-return-to-ormoc-city.html

  

Everything was lightning fast because the first batch of donations arrived in November of the same year of their visit (2007).  Fast forward to this week - September 19, 2013, the fourth container van of donations arrived at the Eastern Visayas State University in Ormoc, Philippines.  This is the second donation for EVSU Ormoc.


This time not only are there sewing machines

and sewing materials like fabric


but also books, computers, gowns and corporate suits
 

 

Good intentions of our Australian friends has to be nurtured by taking good care of their donations and ensuring that it goes to the right beneficiaries.  That is why accountability has to be instituted.

New couple Christine and Jason sponsor sewing students


Newly-weds Christine and Jason just deposited 200 Australian dollars to the TCF EVSU Ormoc Dressmaking Class.  This pays for the full tuition fees of eight dressmaking students at the Eastern Visayas State University Ormoc.

A member of Business and Professional Women in Western Australia, Christine visited EVSU Ormoc and TCF Ormoc project centers.  She had a hectic schedule when she was here with Carol Hanlon and attended to the organization needs of BPW Ormoc.

ROMs Sponsor Sewing Class Students

Making true to her promise, Mel just deposited 100 Australian dollars to the Eastern Visayas State University Ormoc Dressmaking Class.  She promised this during their visit to the said campus in 2012.  This will pay for the full tuition of four Dressmaking students who are mostly women.

The Rom family of Perth, Western Australia are the owners of  Rom Designs, a jewellery label that was started by the couple Mel and Rhay Rom.   


The couple are part of the Textile Clothing Footwear Western Australia's first batch of donations which started TCF Ormoc.  They  (Mel, Rhay, Mitchell and Melody)  were in Ormoc last year and promised to sponsor TCF sewing class students at the Eastern Visayas State University Ormoc.


Mel also owns Social Ediquette on Facebook.

For the intermission numbers, this talented student hurdles an ordeal.

This time the graduates show off their Long Pants output.  Because they are not allowed to come inside the school without IDs and/or uniforms, on their own initiative, they acquired the shirts they wear here as their uniforms.
