A TIME OF TRIAL AND TRIUMPH

In season and out of season, Operation Blessing continues to make a difference in the lives of many through God’s empowering help and partnerships with various like-minded organizations. This is again proved by its receipt of the AFP’s Gawad sa Kapayapaan Award (Award of Peace) during the pandemic (2020), and even after the pandemic (2022).

During the pandemic, Operation Blessing was one of the organizations that did not hesitate to rise to the occasion by supplying COVID assistance to patients and PPE to healthcare workers in hospitals. While most offices have shut down because of health risks, our operations continue in different parts of the Philippines. The COVID pandemic came on top of the typhoons and calamities that often hit the country.

Post pandemic, as establishments, families, and organizations rise from the ruins, Operation Blessing continues aiding in the form of food bags and hygiene kits.

All these would not have been possible without partnerships with individual volunteers and organizations like the Armed Forces of the Philippines. The AFP has provided mobilization, security, accommodation, and other forms of invaluable assistance. In honor and recognition of the partnership, the AFP awarded Operation Blessing its Gawad sa Kapayapaan Award, the highest distinction given to individuals and institutions. We share this award with all our generous donors, trusted partners, and kind-hearted volunteers who stand with us even in the most challenging times. We will continue to strive to firmly install the pillars of shared peace in our response and efforts.
