Philippine Red Cross - Ways to Donate
(http://www.redcross.org.ph/Site/PNRC/wtd.aspx)
You can coordinate with your local Red Cross. They need volunteers now to help pack and distribute the donated goods to various parts of the affected areas in Luzon and Metro Manila.
Click here to check Philippine Red Cross Local chapters where you can walk in to volunteer to help or where you can bring in your donations.
National Disaster Coordinating Council
Visit their site to find out where you can drop off your donations for Ondoy victims. They also posted their bank account # for your donations.
I hope there's a way to donate online, using Paypal. I've seen it somewhere but I don't know if they're legit. Will try to find some other way to help when I go back to Manila next week.
GK OPERATION WALANG IWANAN (LEAVE NO ONE BEHIND)
ReplyDeleteTyphoon Ketsana (local name Ondoy) was one of the worst natural disasters to hit the Metro Manila area and the nearby regions of NCR (National Capital Region) in recent times, also devastating the areas of Markina, Laguna and Rizal. Men, women, children, animals, including properties throughout the affected areas suffered greatly in the aftermath of Tropical Storm Ketsana (local name Ondoy), and their difficulties are still on going today! We must all continue to come together to help the survivors fully recover from this deadly natural disaster.
Casualties included men, women, children, and even animals, property damage is already estimated to be at least $10 billion throughout the affected areas. While rescuers are still trying to save as many lives as they can, survivors will definitely need food, clean drinking water, clothing, and medical attention. Now, more than ever, we must all come together to help save as many as we can from this catastrophe.
Help rebuild lives and DONATE NOW.
