Please help those affected by Typhoon Ondoy (Ketsana) here in Manila. The typhoon has displaced over 300,000 people and taken the lives of over 100 people. Many people have had extensive damage to their home, or worse, lost everything they had. This typhoon has been the worst one to hit Metro Manila in decades, and it has had more rainfall than Hurricane Katrina.
Nobody was spared, rich and poor alike were equally affected. Areas of Manila are still without clean water and power. Rescue efforts are still hindered because of flood waters. Even though the worst may seem over, people exposed to the flood waters were at high risk for exposure to water-born parasites and diseases.
Please help and donate. Monetary donations are needed to give people much needed food, clean drinking water, clothing, and medications.
