WoW BAGS

Fr. John has contacts in the Philippines and was aware of the situation in Pampanga and the production of WoW Bags.

In 1992 Mt. Pinatubo erupted and many villages were buried under volcanic rock and mud.

The bags are made by the women of the Wenceslau resettlement village. They are made from discarded fruit juice pouches. They come in various sizes and are very strong.

The Parish Justice & Peace Group decided to adopt the sale of these as a project to help the village.

Details of the bags that are available can be found at Wonders of Waste Catalogue or email:warewowbags@hotmail.com or by leaving a message with the parish office for Michele.

You can see the women making these bags by going to Wonders of Wenceslao Bags (This will take a few seconds to load)

Since starting this project at the beginning of November we have raised £1,500.

The bags were sold in the Drill Hall during Ware Dickensian Evening and photographs taken that evening can be found at Dickensian Evening (This will take a few seconds to load)
