Santuario welcomes AANI to organize a bazaar

The Santuario de San Vicente de Paul accepted the offer of Agri-Aqua Network International, Inc. (AANI) to organize and manage the BAZAAR, aimed primarily to support the St. Vincent Medical and Dental Clinic for indigent members living within the vicinity of St. Vincent Seminary.  The bazaar will be operational every Saturday and Sunday from 6:00am-8:00pm starting next month.

Products that will be sold in the bazaar are mostly organic including food, snack items, beverages, meat, fish, vegetables, fruits, beauty and wellness products, toys, dry goods, native products, and many more.

The bazaar is also meant to provide opportunities to members of our community especially those with products to sell, to build a community where families will be given a venue to develop camaraderie and bring the family together, and to make goods available for the people at a cheaper price.

We welcome more concessionaires to join the bazaar and we invite all churchgoers to patronize the products that are being sold in the bazaar so that we could continue to support our free medical and dental clinic for the indigents. For more details, you may contact AANI Main Office at 824-1843 or 824-1848 or you may log on at www.aaniphil.net.

Livelihood on organics launches in Santuario

by Nelson Boren

The Santuario de San Vicente de Paul thanked Mr. Tadeo M. Palma, secretary to the Mayor, for sending the city’s agricultural technologists, Ms. Amely Martinez and Ms. Luzviminda Tallada, who conducted livelihood training on organics last August 17, 2010 from 9:00am-12:00nn. One session about malunggay noodles was attended by 20 participants. Aside from malunggay noodles, organic vinegar, and other topics will be conducted in the coming months so that this will be a regular activity every Tuesday from 9:00am-12:00nn.

However, the training will also be conducted on Sundays from 9:00am-12:00nn to allow others to attend the sessions.  These include the patients of our Sunday medical and dental clinic, senior citizens who regularly hold meetings every Sunday, and churchgoers who attend regular Sunday mass.

A special training will take place on September 26, the eve of the feast of St. Vincent de Paul,  from1:00pm-3:00pm. On  this day, the urban poor of Quezon City together with the people of the Ina ng Lupang Pangako Parish, Payatas will join in the “Pilgrimage to the Santuario: A Walk for A Cause” and later attend the afternoon training sessions.

This livelihood project of the Santuario is in close collaboration with the Office of the Mayor of Quezon City in its desire to provide livelihood programs for all.
