NOVELMODELS Social Focus this week is on FASHION one Foundation. FASHION one Foundation teams up with local government units in the Philippines to give “LIGHT” to as many communities as possible… How? Well, beginning in Puerto Princessa, Palawan, they have provided the city and its mountain region with solar lamps to “Light a Million Homes in the Philippines.”
Watch as model/actress Monica Rofler distributes Solar Lamps to the residents.Palawan is quite remote, with provinces with basically no electricity - so as it was mentioned, there were many dangers of using mostly candles in the place of electricity. Watching FASHION one paying attention to the beautiful families of Palawan, giving away nearly 1000 solar lamps… and to extend their initiative even further, is inspiring to say the least. For those involved, I’m sure it was an entirely fulfilling experience!
