Unshakable Joy

Help Cateel  group was founded by a friend  Olan F. Emboscado of The Travel Teller on December 5, 2012 immediately after typhoon Pablo badly hit our town.  I recalled the mixed emotions we had that afternoon. It was a quick decision to meet at Venees Hotel.  I am grateful to my friend Pastor Albert Clarito and Pastor Roy Oliveros  for the free accommodation at Destiny Christian Church.

Support from fellow Cateelenos was so overwhelming. We expected a group of five people to join the meeting, we ended up with a crowd of more than 60. And so the journey of Help Cateel group began. I am bold and in liberty to say that   the birth of this group emanates from LOVE.  Our love for our families, our kababayan and our love for our hometown.  Yes… Cateeleneos for Cateelenos. ( This Logo is created by Olan himself).

As a response to our kababayan’s needs, we sought help from fellow Cateelenos from all over the globe. On day one we’re able to send one truckload of relief goods. For the whole month of December 2012, We sent  16 truckloads of relief goods delivered to different barangays of our hometown. The group is operating relief operations for  almost three months now.  Thank you God for our donors, for our supporters, our elders, our key persons and our volunteers. I wish i could post all the photos. I only have few from my file.

Another dear friend Lura Steinl  and her boss Mrs. Hermann   donated huge amount for Help Cateel from Germany. Also Lura and her husband sent another huge help a week after.

My daughter and her classmates in Abbas Orchard School buying groceries for Cateelenos. Instead of throwing a party for Christmas, they decided to share it with Help Cateel.

Boxes of medicines donated by MBE Pharma. Sent on day 2 to address the emergent needs of our hospital.

I would like to commend Olan, our President for his unfailing love. This is not an easy task. All of us are working and doing the operations not to mention that we too are victims as well. Olan's love for Cateelenos is with out a doubt beyond compare.

And now looking at these  photos below, I would say our joy is unshakable.  Wow…. You inspired us to do more and be of help.  We will never get tired of being a channel of God's amazing and unlimited grace.
