WIMLER HK was established through the initiative of Leila Rispens-Noel together with Emilie Veringa-Tobias and Victor Neri as co-founders. Leila who has lived for 29 years in the Netherlands before relocating to Hong Kong in 2009, founded WIMLER Philippines in 2006 as her way of “giving back” to her country of origin where she already assisted hundreds of children through her philanthropic work. At present, the WIMLER HK team is composed of individuals from various nationalities with different fields of expertise. Sustainable Development We believe that harnessing our natural resources, skills and opportunities in a sustainable and responsible manner would contribute to a better quality of life of the present and future generations. Migration and Development We believe that if properly harnessed, migration could work for development but only when migrants are socially and economically empowered and their rights are protected, respected, and promoted.

Highlights 2013 RESULTS IN 2013 Typhoon Haiyan (Yolanda) Typhoon Haiyan, known as Typhoon Yolanda in the Philippines, was a powerful tropical cyclone that devastated portions of Southeast Asia, particularly the Philippines, on November 8, 2013. It is the deadliest Philippine typhoon on record. The cyclone caused catastrophic destruction in the Visayas, particularly in Samar and Leyte. According to UN records, about 11 million people have been affected and many have been left homeless. The National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (NDRRMC) reported that as March 14, 2014, there are 28,689 injured, 6,268 dead, and 1,061 missing as the result of the typhoon. Damage in agriculture and infrastructure is estimated at US$ 878,860,457.60 WIMLER Foundation HK was reluctant to launch its own relief drive aware of its limited resources on both human and financial. However, since a great number of people were asking to course their donation to WIMLER, we finally accepted the daunting task to coordinate the distribution of the goods and funds that were entrusted to us. In challenging time like this, we witnessed the outpouring of the generosity of the people. WIMLER received a total cash donation of HKD 139,159.70 apart from the numerous contributions in the form of relief goods. Three areas were identified for distribution activity: Coron (Palawan), Bantayan (Cebu), and Estancia (Iloilo) and conducted separate campaigns. For Coron, we were able to receive HKD 6,575 direct donation which was used for shipping the goods we received. Sonia Zerrudo of WIMLER spearheaded this campaign together with Catherine Marsden. Tents, 12 boxes of baby milk, 4 boxes of Nestogen, 18 feeding bottles, and 300 kgs medicines were also donated. Cebu raised a total amount of HKD 16,700.00. The amount was spent for shipping goods , blankets, and purchase of relief goods locally. The staff members of the City University of Hong Kong supported the Cebu fund raising campaign. Joy Tadios Arenas, a WIMLER HK Board of Director, coordinated the campaign. On another note, a group of young people led the fund raising for the Iloilo campaign by organizing a Dodgeball tournament. Myrna Pama Hill, WIMLER board of director, led the campaign. She also raised funds from her network. All in all, Iloilo was able to raise the amount of HKD 37,584.00. Apart from the above fund campaigns, we also received a total amount of HKD78,300.70 from individual and corporate donation from Hong Kong, Netherlands, Belgium, USA, and Mexico. We thank Dr. Karen Fernan of Cebu, Joefel Resol and Fr. Tom Delicana of Patronage of St. Joseph Parish in Pototan, Iloilo, and Joey Zaballero of Manila for coordinating the distribution. 71 migrant domestic workers and a few Filipino HK residents graduated the sixmonth Leadership and Social Entepreneurship (LSE) training program 135 pupils and 17 high school students went to school during the school year 2013- 2014 1,200 books were distributed to Villa Doneza Elementary School and Marber Elementary School both located in Bansalan, Davao del Sur and two kindergarten schools (Sulop and Bansalan) 800 families in New Bataan, Davao Oriental who are victims of typhoon Pablo received food packs 2 barangay (village) health centers and the provincial hospital of Digos City received medical supplies donated by Friends of WIMLER in USA Raised a total amount of HK$ 139,159.70 or typhoon Haiyan (Yolanda) victims aside from relief goods, medicines, blankets, and tents were also distributed to Coron (Palawan), Bantayan (Cebu), and Estancia (Iloilo) Follow up The remaining balance will be used to contribute to the rehabilitation of some affected families. In Bantayan, Cebu, WIMLER will donate funds to build 20 bancas in partnership with Bantayan Back to the Sea Project (BBSP) which helps in identifying the deserving beneficiaries. For Iloilo, we will support the building of two pumpboats for Banate fisherfolks and the rest of the amount will be allocated to support the organic farming in Estancia. Lessons Learned: We realized that sending of goods from Hong Kong to the local beneficiaries was not only impractical but even more expensive. We do not wish to have a “next time” but if it does happen, it is better to collect the funds and send the money to the contact person/s and who shall then be tasked to buy the goods locally instead of sending goods from Hong Kong. Sent to Estancia, Iloilo 38 sacks of rice, 150 pieces of blankets, 12 boxes of Bear brand and choco, 100 pieces of aluminum keƩle, 20 liter kerosene, Sent to Bantayan, Cebu: Tents (trapals) and blankets benefiƫng 150 families Also we need to draw up a good agreement with the relevant parties/persons before sending any goods. Haste makes waste. Things not clearly communicated will not only resort to more confusion but would make the shipment of goods more expensive. 5 Capacity Building Program for Migrant Workers Leadership and Social Entrepreneurship Course (LSE 15 and 16) Enhancing capacities and empowering ethnic minorities to prepare for their return and reintegration, stimulate active citizenship and deepen their engagement in the development of their homelands are two important aspects of the LSE 15 graduates In 2013, WIMLER Foundation HK organized two Leadership and Social Entrepreneurship (LSE) courses in Hong Kong. Seventy-one (71) participants graduated the course: 27 (LSE 15) and 44 (LSE 16). Of the 71 graduates, 31 received merit awards. The graduation was held at the City University of Hong Kong. The first batch of LSE started in Hong Kong in 2012 with 50 graduates. The LSE Program is a joint initiative of the Ateneo University School of Government (ASoG) with the Overseas Filipinos Society for the Promotion of Economic Security (OFSPES), the Social Enterprises Development Partnerships Inc. (SEDPI), Ugat Foundation, the Philippine Consulate, the Philippine Overseas Labor Office (POLO), and the Overseas Workers Welfare Administration (OWWA). The course is organized and coordinated in Hong Kong by WIMLER Foundation Hong Kong with support from SWIFT APAC. The course in 2013 was held at the Service Seamen’s Center. The LSE 22 covers 13 sessions each, two Sundays per month over a six-month period. The program covers three modules: financial literacy, leadership and social entrepreneurship. The LSE aims to develop the leadership skills and potentials among overseas Filipinos and their families, provide knowledge and skills in savings and investments and other financial matters and develop and/or enhance their entrepreneurial skills the course. 6 work of WIMLER Foundation in Hong Kong. LSE 16 graduates I already learned a lot since the first day of the class. I tried to apply what I learned and I am amazed how much we can do if we manage our finances well and prepare for the day when I decide to go home for good. Thank you LSE. ‐ Marilyn A. Ramos, LSE 16 Capacity Building Program for Migrant Workers 7 Friends of WIMLER in Action 8 Friends of Wimler in Action On May 19, 2013, ALAY: A Tribute for the HK Filipino Community was held at Chater Road, Centeral with support from Ayala Foundation, AyalanLand, Bank of the Philippine Island, and Globe. Aside from the main activities, WIMLER also conducted financial literacy awareness day and fund raising activities by selling raffle tickets. Despite the tight schedule, all plans pushed through. The event raised a total amount of HKD 67,975.00 to support its “Send a Child to School” project. As a Hong Kong registered charity, WIMLER Foundation not only support poor children in the Philippines but also less privileged migrant children in Hong Kong. Hope of the City Foundation works to transform the lives of the underprivileged in Hong Kong, providing access to opportunities and believing in each person’s potential to succeed. It provides funding, mobilizes people and sources quality resources to transform the city, one life at a time. Many children from low-income families do not have the resources needed to excel in Hong Kong's public school system. As a result, they often fall behind their peers and become trapped in a cycle of educational poverty. Hope of the City hires professional English teachers to travel to local community centres and churches to conduct English lessons for students. Students participating in the courses are screened and referred to Hope of the City by social workers. Each class meets for one hour per week over a period of 12 weeks. In order to provide tailored feedback, there are no more than 10 students per class. During 2014, WIMLER Foundation HK is partnering with Hope of the City to sponsor English lessons for 18 students. Each student will receive 24 hours of English instruction from a tutor specifically trained in teaching English as a second language. 9 Reaching out WIMLER in action 10 Financial Report Fu nd 11 Financial Report 12 WIMLER Philippines Horner and Mary Vazant from USA which we distributed in three village health centers and in one provincial public hospital. We also distributed this year 1,200 books sent by WIMLER HK in two public elementary schools in Bansalan, and two kindergarten schools (one in Bansalan and the other in Hagonoy). As we promised last year, WIMLER Philippines is now more actively involved in development-related activities with its participation in the poverty reduction program. WIMLER Philippines is now a member of the Local Poverty Reduction Team (LPRAT) of the municipality of Bansalan and I am elected as the co-chairperson. LPRAT is a government program which involves civil society in identifying and monitoring poverty alleviation programs of the Philippine government.
