In partnership with the Council for the Welfare of Children (CWC) and the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) , we at Consuelo Foundation successfully launched and implemented the “Search for Exemplary Government Registered Social Workers during Typhoon Yolanda Award” . The project gave recognition to six (6) social workers who served in various Haiyan areas. It highlighted and shared with the public their innovative and dedicated work in the field of disaster response and management and child protection in emergencies. The awarding took place at the Manila Hotel last April 28, 2015, and was attended more than two hundred guests from national government agencies, including the Office of the President, and many international and local non- government agencies involved in Haiyan relief and rehabilitation work. The top award was given to Zenaida Cunanan, a government social worker serving in Guiuan, Eastern Samar. The awardees were carefully selected by a board of judges composed of highly respected social work professionals who are considered as pioneers and leaders in the field.
