Filipino Domestic Violence Education CommitteeCommunity Outreach-Natural Helper Filipino Community of Seattle Submitted by Myrna Victoriano
NARRATIVE REPORT 2009
§ Completed Natural Helpers Training with the FCS Board. § Participated in all Ugnayan monthly meetings to keep community leaders and members informed of activities of FDVEC. Also gave a mini-presentation about Domestic Violence. § E-mail communications consistently of important events about Domestic Violence and any current bills and legislative actions are communicated in a timely manner. § Emma Catague, project coordinator, was able to make three presentations to three different organizations in Tacoma and the Bremerton area. Still difficult to arrange a presentation during organizations’ meeting. Our goal was to make at least 10 presentations. Our Ugnayan participation served as our outreach to the Community. § We are getting calls at FCS and calls are being referred accordingly. We probably get about 5-10 calls. We also get calls from the law enforcement community. Most recently, some are using our FCS website e-mail address to get to us. § Our advisers are FCS Pres. Alma Q. Kern and FCS Adviser Bert Caoili.
GOALS FOR 2010
