PROJECT "SAGIP TULONG NI MONSAY" by RMHSEAAI

Across the Philippines, typhoon Haiyan/Yolanda affected a total of 9.5 million people -- and displaced at least 600,000 -- when it slammed into the country on Friday, November 8 according to the UN's Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs.

Though there were, as of this writing, more than 2,300 dead, there were survivors who were described as being in desperate need of clean drinking water and food. You can’t even imagine the pain and agony, unless you witness it firsthand.

According to Secretary to the Cabinet Rene Almendras, "In some cases the devastation has been total."  

Yolanda, the greatest, even the strongest typhoon in the world this year is estimated to have destroyed about 70 to 80 percent of structures in its path as it tore into the coastal provinces of Leyte, Samar, Cebu and Antique.

Officials say that 10,000 may have died after the devastating typhoon that hit the Philippines. As survivors assess the damage, Joseph Curry, with Catholic relief services says that victims are in desperate need of help rebuilding their homes.

In line with this, the RMHS Espana Alumni Association, Inc. (RMHSEAAI) have launched PROJECT "SAGIP TULONG NI MONSAY", a mobilization drive to solicit donations in cash or in kind.
