In 1998, Dale Asis cofounded the Coalition of African,
Arab, Asian, European, Latino Immigrants of Illinois
(CAAAELII), one of the largest immigrant led coalitions
in the country. He has a Master’s degree in Social Sciences from the University of Chicago and in 2001 received a Ford Foundation Leadership Award. A yearlong fellowship from the Chicago Community Trust in 2007 enabled him to study extensively the problem of sustainable giving and diaspora populations.
He recently toured the Philippines visiting medical missions.
During his fellowship, he traveled to his mother’s native village in Bicol,
Philippines, where he confronted the poverty of his distant relatives, many of
whom wanted to join him back in Chicago. He saw the connection between their desperation and the overwhelming number of immigrants who feel they must migrate to seek a better life. It was a turning point: He decided to address the root cause of migration by leveraging the financial and technical potential of the growing Filipino diaspora to improve the economic situation in the Philippines in substantive and sustainable ways.

My organisation Operation ASHA is serving 3.5 million slum dwellers in india, treating tuberculosis. We do TB education, active case finding, treatment, counselling and default tracking, and we work hand in hand with India’s TB control program.

Hello Mr. Delmo,
Thank you for reading my blog entries and for your interest with the Bayanihan Foundation. However, the foundation does not match nor find donors in the US; it does not have this capacity. You will find many onilne resources regarding this. The Bayanihan Foundation is a public charity and it also raises funds through individual donations to support its local and international projects as well.
However, please take a look at the foundation’s revised case statement and revised partnership guidelines posted in our website: http://fdnbayanihan.org/projects/
Please keep reading my blog entries!
Sincerely,
Dale Asis
