It’s been more than 6 days after Typhoon Haiyan (Yolanda) have caused havoc in the Philippines and many people are still incredibly desperate and in pain. There are relief efforts from the private sector and international communities but they are not enough. Many relief goods/ aid and have not yet reached the victims because of logistic problems and the weather.
I haven’t been functioning well for several days now thinking about the people in these areas – hungry and in pain. We are very lucky to be far away from all of these but as I watch the news, I cannot help but think about all the little kids who have lost their parents and parents who have lost their children. It is so unfair! But there’s nothing we can do now – it already happened. The best thing we can do now is to help the survivors get back on their feet. I hope we can all take the time to be proactive about this and lend a helping hand because no help is too small.
