My students and I are organizing a collection of food, clothing, shoes, and blankets to contribute towards the relief efforts in the Philippines. They're being hit with a second storm this weekend (a Category 4 typhoon), and while thousands have been evacuated, they will still need help.
Perhaps we can all get involved!
Monetary donations can be sent to the Red Cross here.
A quick Google search can help you locate the nearest donation center in your area. In the Philippines, they are referring to the storm as Typhoons Ondoy (Ketsana) and Pepeng (Parma). Some collection centers may be using the Filipino designations for the storms in their press releases, so using them in your searches may also be helpful.
Philippine Airlines will ship all relief supplies for free.
We have every opportunity to help and groups of motivated students willing to act with us. Let's do it. :)
Thanks in advance for your kindness and thoughts.
