Dear Hon. Galleaon

Greetings!

IsraAID Philippines is a non-profit, non-governmental and an international humanitarian aid organization

based in Israel. It has been helping people all over the world overcome extreme crises and has
provided millions with the vital support needed to move from destruction to reconstruction, and
eventually, to sustainable living.

One of its flagship projects spearheaded in the Philippines is providing Mental Health and Psychosocial
Support (MHPSS) training to schools, communities and service providers, preventing long-term post-
trauma, and increasing the resilience of communities after a tragedy during the devastation of typhoon
Yolanda in 2013.

We are very pleased to inform you about the opening of our Gender Based Violence- Anti-Human
Trafficking project in Maasin as one the MHPSS program components. Its main objective is combating
gender-based violence and anti-human trafficking issues by emphasizing prevention and response through
treatment, training, education and advocacy.

In line with this, we would like to invite five representatives from your barangay to attend a half-day
