Abstract: Learning from the experiences, challenges, and successes of the ministry and work of Samaritan’s Purse Philippines in building relationship with the local government and communities among the victims of Typhoon Haiyan (Yolanda) in Eastern Visayas that was hit last November 2013.  During this workshop, participants will learn the importance of partnership between the local community and the local Government through the work on an NGO (Non-Government Organization).  Although most of the NGOs operate independently including its resources and funding, NGOs have a vital role in creating a bridge between the local community to access opportunities and privileges the government can offer.  Participants will learn several methods and steps on how to build relationships and create partnerships with the local community as well as the local government. This workshop also allows participants to assess their current program and focus on how they will introduce food security in their own communities.
