Help Mindanao

Last week another tropical storm caught hit us with unimaginable force and unbearable amount of rain. Sendong (Washi – International Name), evidently rekindled the dreadful events of the 2009 Ondoy incident, as it hit the southern part of our country leaving most parts of Mindanao in state of calamity. It’s sad to think about that for the past years we always see our nation go against the odds right before our most loved season, which is Christmas.

As I have watched the news earlier today the current casualties, more or less reached 1000 already. In addition according to Red Cross’ site it affected 13,924 families, leaving 245 injured, and 807 reported missing. 38,332 persons are still housed in evacuation centers across the region.

I have collated some options that you can do to help Sendong victims in my blog post here: [link]

I have created simple posters and avatars which you can freely use on your blog and other social media sites (which you can also download in from my blog post). You can link it to any of the items I mentioned above or if you have a different link you can use it as well. You can also use them as profile pictures, avatars, or icons to promote the cause.
