MIS Revives its Outreach Program

Through the initiative of Maharlika International School’s Founder and ExecutiveDirector, Martin Banaken Papay Jr., the outreach program of MIS was revived in order to extend a little help for those badly hit by the heavy rainstorm in Dili on April 4, 2021. The wrath of the heavy rainstorm left many homeless and were provided with a temporary shelter in various evacuation centers in the city. They also lacked of food, water and other essential goods.

On April 7, 2021, Mr. Papay appealed to the Maharlikan parents of their donations in support to the MIS’ Outreach Program with the theme "Relive the Spirit of Extending help and Concern for Others" which is also known as a BAYANIHAN culture/custom in Filipino Language. Their support is invaluable to the success of this activity.

Through this initiative, MIS was able to receive $520.00 Cash, 27 sacks of rice, 1 gallon (5 liters) and 1 box of 620 ml cooking oil, 25 boxes of noodles, bottled water (7 boxes of 600 ml & 4 boxes of 1500 ml and 2 boxes of aqua glass), 21 assorted canned goods, 82 pieces of bath soap, 1 box of shampoo (sachet), 7 cans of biscuits, 6 boxes of pucuk harum juice, 10 sachets of energen, 5 packs of bread, bags of assorted used clothes.

The $520.00 cash donation was used to purchase additional goods such as 13 sacks of rice, 107 kilos of white sugar, 8 boxes of small canned sardines, 8 boxes of cooking oil, 107 packs of biscuits, 4 boxes of salt, 2 boxes of bath soap and 1 box of shampoo (sachet).

 MIS family was able to share a little help to 107 families at Danau 2 & 3 in Tasi Tolu on April 18 on its own little way. Each family received a bag of packed goods containing: 5 kilos of rice, 1 kilo of white sugar, 2 packs of salt, cooking oil, bottled water, 7 packs of noodles, canned goods, 2 pcs of bath soap, 6 sachets of shampoo, biscuits and pucuk juice. In addition, 60 children aged 6-8 (28 girls and 32 boys) and 72 adults (39 males and 33 females) received assorted used clothes.

The Executive Director of MIS Offers Scholarship Grants to Deserving Maharlikans

THE MEMORY OF A DISTANT PAST It was early morning in this foggy and chilly mountain homeland. Most children of his age were still snuggling and sleeping on their beds. However, this boy has to brave the unwelcoming cold and struggle against his wishes to sleep some more in order for him to sell bread around the neighborhood to add up his meager allowance.
