GBE is One with One MED for Juan
Gamma Beta Epsilon Fraternity brothers and friends joined the first One MED for Juan Medical Surgical Relief Goods Distribution to the Flood Victims of Typhoon Ondoy in Sitio Lambakin, Marilao, Bulacan last September 30, 2009. The Gamman brothers contributed to the Relief Distribution Drive by donating clothes, canned goods (sardines) and instant noodles. They participated in the planning and brainstorming for the mission and helped pack the different relief goods into distribution bags.
One MED for Juan started out as a vision of unifying the UST medical community in all activities by the UST Faculty of Medicine and Surgery Student Council 2009-2010.
NOW… a realization, being true to the words of being compassionate not only in emotion but in ACTION.
This group aims to start a tradition and institutionalize a system that would serve whenever a call for help is called upon the UST Medical Community and a venue where the different organizations can be ONE for JUAN.
