PAGADIAN CITY, Zamboanga del Sur, Jan. 3 (PNA) --A contingent of the 
Interfaith Forum for Solidarity and Peace is set to leave for another mercy mission to help the “Yolanda” victims in the Visayas Region.

The contingent of 60 people comprising mostly of volunteer carpenters headed by this city’s Diocese Bishop Emmanuel Cabajar will leave Monday to the “Yolanda”- battered areas.

Interfaith Secretariat information officer Faye Reyes said Friday the contingent will help the typhoon victims in Palo, Leyte, rebuild their houses.

Reyes said the contingent that would leave Monday would be the third batch as two batches were earlier deployed to the Visayas Region.
Reyes said the carpenters would work free of charge on the first three days of their stay in Palo, Leyte.

The Interfaith will pay them a salary based on the minimum wage law starting on the fourth day onwards until the last day of work, according to Reyes.

However, she said the duration of work of the carpenters in Palo, Leyte would depend on the things that need to be accomplished.

She said the contingent would also bring some materials needed to rebuild the houses of the typhoon victims as well as foods and medicines.

“We will have an orientation at the Bishop House on Sunday to iron out everything,” she added.(PNA)
