PinoyAu Yolanda Relief Drive

edited December 2013 in Update
Dear PinoyAu Pipol,

As you may well be aware, the Philippines is in the grips of coping with a great calamity brought on by Supertyphoon Yolanda (international name: Haiyan). With most parts of the Visayas especially in Tacloban was devastated by the storm, the death toll continues to rise with currently an unconfirmed estimate of 10,000 dead, It is currently noted as the worst natural disaster to have hit the Phillipines.

While relief efforts are already under way, thousands of our "kababayans" still remain in need of help. We would like to ask everyone to join hands in prayer and encourage everyone to join with us as we gather support to send to our stricken "kababayans".

For PayPal or via Credit card donations, please access the temporary link here.
