Social Justice Project Does It Again

The Social Justice Project (SJP) once again came to the help of poor people.  When Typhoon Sendong devastated some provinces in the Philippines in December 2011, the SJP donated $1,200 to the typhoon victims in Negros Oriental through the Knights of Columbus Council in Dumaguete City.


When a 6.9 earthquake destroyed homes and businesses in the norther part of Negros Oriental in the Philippines, the SJP again donated $1,200 to purchase rice, water, and medicine for the victims of the earthquake in Guihulngan town.


SK Rudy Salanga (in blue shirt, above), Philippine Project Manager of SJP, spearheaded the aid provided the victims of the typhoon and the earthquake.  Through his leadership, the response of the SJP to both disasters were swift.  The victims received help when they needed it most.

I am proud to be the Executive Director of the Social Justice Project, a 501 c 3 non-profit corrporation in California.  I am ably aided by the expertise of a team of volunteers.  The SJP is comprised of the following gentlemen: Chairman of the Board SK Jack Mielke, Financial Secretary Tom Sanders, Board Members Bob Herness and Ted Williams.  The Philippine SJP Team is made up of Country Coordinator SK Eduardo Arreza, Project Manager SK Rudy Salanga and Financial Secretary SK Roque Fado.  No one gets paid in the SJP.  The overhead expenses of the organization are paid for by the volunteer themselves.

The SJP has been serving and helping the poor since the turn of the millenium in 2000.  Donors from around the world support the SJP through cash donations.  Visit www.socialjusticeproject.com to know more of this non-profit, public benefit organization.
