We thank McCartan Turkington Breen, Belfast Solicitors or their generous support to a food bank in the Philippines. Organised  for the Negritos assumed to be the aboriginal inhabitants of the archipelago. Many still live by hunting and gathering.

This group in particular are the indigenous people of the northern part of Mindanao located at the mountain ranges of Caraga region. They are natives living a nomadic lifestyle who the government try to educate and feed but they remain poor. This poverty when linked to extreme weather conditions and diseases makes life extremely challenging.

The event was sponsored by McCartan Turkington Breen – The cultural dance session was performed  and presented by Jagrita Bal Club in Sindhupalchwok Distric, Nepal.

The Sindhupalchwok District has faced natural disasters including floods and landslides and because of the region’s geology it is prone to catastrophic earth movements.
