As everyone may have known by now, Dress A Girl Australia had its first dress distribution last Sept 2011 in the Philippines. The distribution was done in 2 locations.
One was in Mambuaya, Cagayan de Oro City, Philippines about 1-1/2 hour away from Manila by plane and Mambuaya was about half-an-hour by car from the city proper itself and this was made possible by the ladies of Zonta International, CDO chapter. Without these ladies, this location would not have been possible to go to including for safety reasons unless you are familiar with the area.
The second batch of distribution was done in Marikina, Manila by Mr Fred Florendo and his wife Vergie. The plan was to distribute the dresses to the children of families who suffered from Typhoon Ondoy which hit Manila last year and were relocated to a nearby location near Marikina. Some of these families have not yet recovered. All dresses have now been distributed to the children. As requested, pictures were taken of the dresses and the children recipients. The pictures will be made available very soon as Fred and Vergie are having problems uploading the pictures to the address I have provided them. They will be posted on this site as soon as I have them.
I know dress donors are as excited as I am to see the pictures. They will be made available soon so please be patient.
