    “A kind gesture can heal a wound, that only compassion can heal,” a quote by Steve Maraboli. The province of Leyte recognized the continuing support of Tan Yan Kee Foundation, Inc. (TYKFI) and requested Pope Francis to give his blessing to the foundation. TYKFI received a plaque from Pope Francis last January 15-19, indicating his Apostolic Blessing and “invoking abundant divine graces on the occasion of the Apostolic Journey to the Philippines.” The foundation was one of the pillar institutions which immensely reached out to the province after typhoon Yolanda. TYKFI held activities such as relief operation, food distribution project, school supplies distribution project, distribution of vegetable seeds to public schools, and construction of the following: 54 permanent housing project, 1 unit 5-classroom and 4-classroom school building, Barangay Hall with day care center and clinic, after typhoon Yolanda.  

    In addition, TYKFI reached out to a Parish in Alangalang, Leyte. The gift giving ceremony coincided with the holidays last December 19, 2014 at the foundation office located in Makati. Most Holy Trinity Parish from Alangalang, Leyte, suffered damage in its ceiling and electrical connection during the typhoon, and little restoration has been done up until then. The Parish received financial assistance from the foundation in order to restore the church building. The ceremony was headed by Fe Chen-Urdaneta for TYKFI and co-pastor Rev. Fr. Manuel Isabelo C. Ocaña from Most Holy Trinity Parish. In turn, the foundation received a book entitled “Typhoon Haiyan: The Untold Story” from the Parish.
