Greetings!
The Kabalats, or Dumagats of Bulacan, are indigenous people who live the life of hunters and rattan traders. They are also vastly depleting their natural resources due to their illegal logging activities that have left significant portions of their forest denuded and devastated. More so, their health is compromised due to their lack of hygiene, unsanitary conditions and remoteness of their place to nearby health centers.
Which is why The Individual Members of the Mountaineering Federation of the Philippines, Inc. (MFPI), with a goal of promoting environmental awareness and fellowship to all advocates of nature, will conduct their Medical/Environmental Outreach Program, dubbed "Kalinga sa Dumagat at Kalikasan", on August 28-29, 2004 in Barangay Sitio Inuman, San Jose del Monte, Bulacan.
We will engage in tree planting and provide basic medical services such as vaccine administration and medical relief support. These activities carry an awareness program that will expose the participants to the importance of nature conservation, and health information dissemination for the locals of Sitio Inuman.
With this great project and yet limited resources at hand, we would like to solicit for your support to help us carry out the project effectively particularly in the medical services part. Rest assured that your participation would greatly help us in making the project successful and benefit our indigenous Dumagat brothers, who have greatly preserved their rich tribal culture in these modern times. With your valuable support and participation we can ensure the success of this worthy endeavor. Thank you very much.
Sincerely,
Chairman, Administration Committee
"Kalinga sa Dumagat at Kalikasan"
MFPI – Individual Member
