Typhoon Sendong Killed 1000+ people and counting. Many people are still missing. Sendong" has left the country, but the loss and destruction it has left behind is just slowly becoming apparent. Thousands are residing at evacuation centers and are in need of immediate assistance. Some of their more urgent necessities include bottled water, food, blankets, mats, medicines, towels and clothes.

After watching and surfing those news over the net, I felt sad because I realized that once people past away in certain ways, they can’t ever be fixed. I felt pity to those who survived and thinking how to cope up with the dilemma. But I'm pretty much sure that all is well.  Its Christmas Season and the people here are asking for your prayers and donations.  Any kind of help will surely go a long way. Let your generosity shine through and extend a helping hand in this season of giving.
