Our fundraising led to further involvement in the Gawad Kalinga (“to give care”) Development Foundation, in which ‘FAREPA Village’ was established in the Philippines. Our local fundraising event, FAREPA Fashion Show Charity Event, helped LifeMoves formerly known as Inn Vision, a non-profit provider for abused women, children, and family homelessness in Silicon Valley. During these unprecedented times, we have assisted to raise funds for Family Supportive Housing Shelter, an organization to end family homelessness in the community.
