IDEA also funded training-in-service as well as the purchase of school materials and equipment for classes. In addition, indigent deaf children were porvided food and lodging while attending school. Part of the funding was also allocated to provide vocational education and hands-on training for deaf high school students in the Philippines. 67766 68016 Disaster Relief - In October, 2013 a 7.2 magnitude earthquake and severe aftershocks hit Bohol, Philippines and 23 days later Typhoon Haiyan hit the same area.
