Adamson University College of Pharmacy, once again, showed their Vincentian spirit by producing sanitizers for front liners in medical facilities in Metro Manila through Program COVID, and Vincent Helps Project of the Congregation of the Mission.
The volunteer team of five faculty-staff and five senior students prepared 19 gallons of 70 percent ethanol and 30 liters of hand sanitizers which were packed into 500 bottles of 60mL each.
The sanitizers were turned over to Fr. Joel Rescober, CM, parish priest of SVP Church in San Marcelino St., Manila, and to Fr. Danilo Pilario, CM, Dean of St. Vincent School of Theology in Tandang Sora, QC, who distributed the donations to chosen hospitals and communities.
“We are Vincentians, we desire to contribute in our community, and as pharmacists, we want to help through our competence in compounding substances like hand sanitizers,” said Dean Perlita Crucis, alluding to the inspiration of the Vincentian charism and Saint Vincent de Paul, the University’s patron saint.
As of this writing, the University continues the initiatives of Program COVID — distributing relief packs, feeding street dwellers, and supplying PPEs. The Vincent Helps Project of the Vincentian fathers in Tandang Sora, meanwhile, has also tended to relief assistance of their immediate community.
