Haiyan Appeal
The recent typhoon Haiyan, otherwise known as “Yolanda”, caused catastrophic damage in Central Philippines most particularly throughout Tacloban, Leyte and Samar Islands with maximum winds of 235 km/hr leaving approximately 11 million affected and thousands homeless.
The rest of the world pledged their support to the Philippine government while a number of organizations and small groups moved immediately in an effort to provide basic relief for the survivors of one of the deadliest cyclone in years.
A group of talented musicians teamed up in March 2012 successfully raising $18,600 for the survivors for typhoon Washi (Sendong) with the help of our reputable partners Rotary Club (Kellyville), Rotary Club (Iligan) and Rotary Club (Cagayan De Oro).
The group watched the aftermath of Yolanda in horror and couldn't just idly stand by. So, majority of the team will reunite together with a few special guests to share their time, effort and talents once more to raise funds in helping rebuild the lives of those most affected and least attended to. Also, once again, we are partnering with Rotary Club-Kellyville to ensure projects are carried out with utmost care.
For the cost less than of one-way fare cab, a full tank good for 3 days, a meal in the CBD, a night out in the movies, a whole week’s coffee, one gym class, an hour massage – just ONE of those things. A $50 converts to around $2,000 pesos, which can buy 50 kilos of rice that could feed 500 families of 4.
IN REMEMBRANCE We want more... Sometimes we take more than what we need. We dream big... Sometimes we take plenty for granted. We fail and succeed... At times, both can drive us to madness. We suffer losses.. We feel pain, regret, guilt and sadness. We love comfort zones.... And become strangers to change and shy to the new Life's full of challenges... But this world has many angels and heroes, like you. |
