April 2008 Accomplishment Report Summary

The NGOs-Pos Network Unit of Imus focused on implementation of mass-centered projects this April 2008. Among the projects implemented were supplemental feeding for undernourished children from various indigent families within the Municipality of Imus; livelihood seminar and trainings for unemployed Imuseños; medical , dental and optical missions benefiting less-privileged individuals from various barangays; and sports development for the youth of the Municipality.

The Officers and Staff of the Network Unit organized each project with passion and enthusiasm to bring-back the culture in public service which is centered on the masses which comprise the largest percentage of the population of Imus, Cavite. This is being re-empowered by Ms. Cristina H. Viegan, RSW, Head/Consultant of the network unit. She firmly believes that it will be a big factor in the strengthening of strategic approaches, particularly in the social areas within the Municipality, and the diversification of the participating NGOs and POs involved in the development process of various social services projects, in congruent to the vision of the network unit “envisioning a genuine partnership between the local government of Imus and the private sector to empower the Imus citizenry anchored on service excellence and efficiency.”

Therefore:

The programs implemented by the NGOs-POs Network Unit of Imus this month of April 2008 gained positive feedback from Imuseños especially those who benefited from these projects. The continuing struggle of the network unit in helping the local government empowering its people through various social services, especially the less-privileged needing government attention and support, is inspiring the thinkers and doers of the network unit to be more efficient and effective in delivering social services to the people.

For the past few months more private organizations even political figures within the local government of Imus and even from the provincial government of Cavite are inclined in helping the network unit in project implementation by providing the necessary material and financial assistance and other requirements of each project. This trend is most appreciated by the officers and staff of the network unit, an affirmation to their undying passion to serve the masses of Imus.

The network unit will continue to move for the people, finding new ways in realizing its vision always fronting its core values.
