Meet Albert, a fisherman of Brgy Bocana, Ilog in Negros Occidental. Once a fisherman’s helper, Albert received a boat of his own about a year ago through Peter Project 1. Today, Albert was able to buy a second hand motorcycle from the catch of his boat. Instead of walking 3 km from shore to market, Albert can...
We have always done our work quietly and simply, without desire for compensation nor recognition. But on April 26, 2014–about three and a half years after NVC was founded–on the same day, at about the same hour, NVC received two awards of recognition for its work: (1) the Signum La Sallianum Award from the University of...
This story began way back in November 2013, when the ravage of Typhoon Yolanda was still fresh, and Peter Project2 was still an infant. It is the story of one company who held donations of concerned international associates and sought to find a responsible conduit for these. Its CEO heard of Peter Project2 from...
The I CAN Team invited NVC to join Gawad Kalinga’s Bayani Challenge, which found us in Barangay Tulungatung, Zamboanga City for an afternoon of Mingo and fun with almost 500 kids from families affected by Zamboanga’s September 2013 peace and order crisis. What a great experience sharing Mingo Love with these children. Thank you to all our Mingo donors!

Meet Nenita Luz, a fisherwoman of Palo, Leyte. One early morning, Nenita saved up some of her daily catch to offer to us as her gift of gratitude for the fishing boat she received. We gently told her that we are transients with no means to cook them. But more than that, we reminded her that we...

Meet Rolando Pamplona, of Palo, Leyte, the recipient of NVC’s 1,000th Peter Project boat. He lost his wife to Typhoon Yolanda, as well as his newborn infant. While he was able to find and bury his wife’s body, his child was never found. Rolando’s boat, named Comunita’ di Piansano, is a gift from the people of the...
Lorenzo is a Peter Project beneficiary. One side of his boat says danke and the other side says salamat. Danke is “thank you” in German, while salamat means the same in Filipino. Truly an apt name for Mang Lorenzo’s boat, because he was so profuse in his thanks upon receiving his boat. He had answered so many surveys before...
