U.S. official inaugurates new school and livelihood facility

United States Agency for International Development or USAID chief financial officer Reginald Mitchell visited Tacloban City to inaugurate new structures as part of the U.S. government’s continuing support for communities impacted by typhoon Yolanda.

Mr. Mitchell joined Tacloban City mayor Alfred Romualdez and Department of Education (DepEd) region VIII Director Dr. Luisa Yu in the formal opening of four climate-resilient and fully-furnished classrooms at the Tacloban City National High School.

Meanwhile, as part of the U.S. government’s support to sustain the local economy, Mr. Mitchell also inaugurated a new grains warehouse and solar dryer facility.

The structures will help 120 members of the Association of Tagpuro farmers united for progress, one of the leading rice and vegetable farmers’ groups in Tacloban City to fully recover their main source of livelihoods and income. (Eagle News Service)
