How We Can Help Philippines Typhoon Victims
As we all know, our beloved country Philippines was hit by the strongest typhoon "Yolanda" (internationl name: super typhoon "haiyan") last November 8, 2013. This was the strongest typhoon ever that hit Philippines and was considered as well as the worst typhoon in the world for 2013.
As the death toll, there were already 1,774 number of deaths caused by super typhoon said by a government agency last Monday night. It is really heart breaking to see them in that situation. As seeing the video and pictures in the internet and in the news, trees, houses, road and other infrastructure like airport and churches were wrecked. Almost all the typhoon victims were asking for food and water and most of the child are getting sick already.
