Help Calamity Victims in the Philippines

Philippines still needs help. It needs any donation you are willing to give as its people are trying to recover from the utter destruction caused by typhoon Ketsana (local name: Ondoy). Millions of properties were damaged and too many people lost their homes. About 288 people were killed. Still more help is needed in the Northern part of the country affected by another typhoon Parma (local name: Pepeng).

Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos are also in need of help. If we can all offer something to help these nations, it won’t really be that hard for the victims to recover. Many people are starting to rebuild their lives. Let’s do our part to give these people hope.

The items listed are considered priority goods to be donated:

Bread
Bottled Water
Baby Milk formula
Canned goods
Medicines
Clothes

This group continues to receive donations for their relief operations in areas most affected by typhoon Ondoy. For the next days, they will still be distributing donations to areas that are still submerged in flood water and to evacuation sites. It’s not yet to late to offer your help.

I, on behalf of the NanoAid Disaster Relief (team Philippines), express gratitude to Mr. Matt Dotson for offering help to our countrymen who are now recovering from loss due to Ondoy. He has started the movement and if more people like him around the globe will extend help, the calamity victims won’t have a hard time recovering.

Any help will do. Cash or kind, it doesn’t matter. Used clothes, used slippers/shoes, toys for the kids, food …anything… will be much much appreciated.

No act of kindness, however small, is ever wasted.

Another super typhoon (Parma) is expected to come anytime today until tomorrow later morning or early afternoon. My countrymen have not yet recovered and most have not even been rescued, yet, from the destruction caused by tropical storm Ketsana (local name: Ondoy). Still so many are missing. Too many are stuck in evacuation centers with little or no food. Children are going hungry and diseases are becoming rampant. Lavatories are inadequate for the thousands of displaced people in each evacuation area. Not enough medicines for all who started to get sick. Many places are still submerged in flood waters and there are people trapped without food and drinks for days. Countless have lost their houses and properties. Most hospitals and clinics in the widely affected areas have also halted their operations.

This is just a picture of what became of the Northern part of the Philippines. How can these people recover?

We all can do something with our own little efforts. It doesn’t have to be grand. Whatever you can share/give, will be more than helpful.

“The bread in your cupboard belongs to the hungry man; the coat hanging unused in your closet belongs to the man who needs it; the shoes rotting in your closet belong to the man who has none; the money which you hoard in the bank belongs to the poor. You do wrong to everyone you could help, but fail to help.” ~ St. Basil the Great

The question for all us now is what can we do to help?
