How You Can Help?

By September 28, 2009 Giving Back 4 Comments

On Sept. 26, the Philippine capital Manila and its neighboring provinces suffered one of nature’s worst beating. Typhoon Ondoy, international code name Ketsana, poured more than a month’s worth of rain in six hours, submerging most parts of the bustling metropolis, drowning at least a hundred people as of press time. My prayers to the victims, and may we emerge victorious and live by the lessons of this tragedy. (Photos by Reuters. Music by Ennio Morricone, “Love Theme” from “Cinema Paradiso”).

I have gathered some information on how and where we can help.  I just put together everything I have so some information may be repeated or duplicated.  Thanks to my cousin, Nina, for suggesting to post this. Now is a good time to look at what you have at home and what you can spare.  Or for those who just want to buy some goods to donate would  be a great help.  It is amazing what everyone is doing to help…..

I got this from the Red Cross Website

operations, you may donate through the American Red Cross. A few dollars will go a long way! Call 1-800-435-7669. Thanks.
