Tzu Chi Palo Great Love Village: A permanent home for generations to come
Fifty-three homeowners received the keys to their new home last July 11 at the Tzu Chi Palo Great Love Village, in Barangay San Jose, Palo, Leyte. This village will now be a permanent residence to families who survived Super Typhoon Yolanda (Haiyan) in 2013. Following the loss of their homes to Yolanda, these families lived in temporary housing provided by Tzu Chi.
Tzu Chi Palo Great Love Village fulfills Tzu Chi Founder Dharma Master Cheng Yen’s vision of a permanent housing for families, one that offers a comfortable life and values the importance of community and love for the environment. The village, on 1.4 hectares of land, not only includes housing, but also a daycare center, livelihood center, and a Great Love Multi Function Hall.
The opening of the Tzu Chi Palo Great Love Village was led by Tzu Chi Philippines CEO Henry Yuñez, with esteemed guests: Leyte Governor Carlos Jericho “Icot” Petilla, Palo Mayor Remedios “Matin” Petilla, Palo Vice Mayor Jonathan P. Chiquillo, Sangguniang Barangay members of Palo, and Angelo King Foundation, Inc. representatives led by President Teddy Kingsu.
