The Problem

There are many people in the Philippines who have lost their homes, clothes, friends and family to the natural disaster of the typhoon. About 80 percent of the capital was underwater and it's not over. Many are now facing the realities of the situation by having to start a new life without anything.

Why It's Important

This is important to me and many of the members in my Key Club because we have friends and family that have been affected by this. We've been watching the news and seeing the toll it has taken on the citizens in the Philippines. We are aware of our blessings and want to help those who have been affected.

The Plan Of Action

Our plan of action is to donate clothes, money and food towe can send over to help. We've already collected clothes and we're hoping we can donate more. We want to continue to help by sending supplies over.

How Can Others Get Involved?

 
Others can assist by doing what we have begun to do. Donate food, clothing and money over to increase the amount of supplies.
