Nyepan, Chairman/ Council Chairmen of the Township of Johnsonville.
“When I received the request, I immediately contacted the Compassion for Life, and as such, my partners responded promptly by sending US$3,000.00 which was used for the purchase of the materials,” he explained.
He then lauded the donors for their continuous contributions to the people of the communities especially in the midst of the prevailing health crisis saying that the people are also in need of food as the pandemic is affecting the economy of the country.

Responding to the gesture, Jackson C. Nyepan, Chairman/ Council of Chairmen of the Township of Johnsonville lavished praises on the Bishop and the Compassion for Life for timely providing the requisite materials that will enable the residents of the 27 communities to carry out the government’s pronounced health protocols mainly the hand-washing aspect and other preventive protocols.
