The tragedy brought about by Typhoon Ondoy (International code name: Ketsana) in the Philippines was very traumatic and unexpected. It was thought to be just another typhoon that hits the country several times a year. We were shocked when we saw on TV that people lost their homes, their cars, their lives from the huge flood that suddenly appeared. I'm very thankful that God spared my family and loved ones from this devastation but sad as well coz some officemates and friemds were greatly affected by it.
Our officemates and other friends truly showed their Kabayanihan spirit by donating food, money, clothing and water to the vistims of the typhoon. I also got some food from the grocery like noodles, canned goods, drinks and biscuits to donate.
Donations may still be delivered in GMA, ABS CBN, Ateneo Covered Courts and Philippine Red Cross. To friends and kababayans in the USA, if you wish to help, pls call the American Red Cross at 1-800-435-7669. Please specify that this is for Ondoy Philippines relief operations.
Let us all pray and hope that all the victims may be able to recover physically, emotionally and financially. Let's not lose hope and faith.
