Send KBKN Youth to the Philippines!
Hello, Friends!
We are the East Coast team for this year's Kapit Bisig Kabataan Network Relief and Rebuilding Mission.
From July 21st to August 13th, we will be embarking on Kapit Bisig Kabataan (translation: Youth Link Arms) Network’s 2nd Annual Relief & Rebuild Mission Trip. During this 24-day voyage, we will be integrating into the communities of Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao, where we will be distributing relief supplies, participating in agricultural production, providing medical services and learning about our people.
We seek to not only rebuild the areas, but to build solidarity, as well. We will be living amongst the indigenous people and completely immersing ourselves in their culture.

A unique experience like this is not possible without support! Our goal is to raise $3,000. With your help, we will be able to fund the projects that we will be undertaking i.e. school supplies for education, tools for building, and relief goods for typhoon survivors. You are providing the means with which to improve their quality of life. Contributions will also help to cover basic expenses such as transportation, food, lodging, and basic necessities.
Maraming Salamat Po (Thank you very much)!!

What is KBKN?
Kapit Bisig Kabataan means “Youth Link Arms” in Tagalog. It is a national Filipino American youth and student led relief network built in response to Typhoon Haiyan and future disasters.
Our mission is to support survivors of calamities in the Philippines by raising funds, organizing relief and rehabilitation missions, and advocating for long term solutions to improve disaster preparedness.
Our vision is to unite and empower Filipino youth and students across the US to engage in grassroots relief and longterm rehabilitation efforts for communities affected by natural disasters in the Philippines. We advocate for systemic changes that prioritize the protection of people’s lives and livelihood in relationship to their environment.
