A group of volunteers in Sydney are mobilising efforts to raise funds that will go towards providing food, water and urgent supplies in the next 48 hours to the people of Tacloban. Here's how you can help.
Dear Family and Friends in Australia,
Two Steps to Help!
Step One: Donate $50 or more to go towards canned goods, water purification tablets, water and medicine for the people of Tacloban City. Purchased goods will be distributed by:
Ramon Aboitiz Foundation Inc.
We have chosen this Non-Government Organisation (NGO) because we have a volunteer on the ground who will coordinate purchase of all goods and will be our eyes in ensuring the goods get to the survivors. RAFI also works with local government units and are experts in providing aid in the Leyte region.
You can donate by Paypal or credit card, through our friends at Little and Loud International, Inc (Thanks to Michelle Roldan, co-founder).
