Give up fireworks for Sendong victims

I’m sure you’re all aware of what happened to typhoon-hit areas in Northern Mindanao and Visayas over the weekend. Three cities were badly hit and affected by massive floods and landslides. If you have clothes, food, bottled water, medicine and money to spare for the survivors, you may do so by sending them to trustworthy organizations that will transmit your donations to evacuation centers. Thousands have perished and many more languish in evacuation centers. It may take a while before evacuees recover.

Tomorrow is Christmas Eve, many are expected to buy fireworks and firecrackers to celebrate, but instead of spending so much money on fireworks, maybe you can give them to typhoon victims. Also, you can share anything that you no longer need like school books, notebooks and pencil, old jansport bags for school children. It will definitely make a lot of difference to people in need especially kids.
