Typhoon Pablo – How To Donate, Help, Volunteer

If you’ve been following me on Twitter, you may notice that I’ve been calling for donations for Typhoon Pablo (international code name: Bopha) survivors. I’ve been posting lots of infos and links as to where you can help, volunteer or donate for Typhoon Pablo relief operations and I’ve also been using the hashtags #PabloPH and #reliefPH. I would like to take this opportunity to WHOLEHEARTEDLY thank each and every one of you who retweeted, reposted, shared my tweets and Facebook status posts. Thank you so much for the support.

Special thanks to those who answered my call for donations. Thank you for trusting me and thank you so much for sharing your blessings! May God bless you a hundredfold 🙂 If, for any reason, you still want to send donations through me, please leave a comment below or tweet me @mindanaoan. I will be most glad to help you and make sure that your donations reach the intended beneficiaries.

As of this writing, Typhoon Pablo has already claimed over 700 lives. According to news reports, over 800 remain missing and nearly 2,000 people are injured. The hardest hit areas include Compostela Valley and Davao Oriental. Please read below if you want to help, donate or volunteer. Please remember — DO NOT be afraid if you can only afford 10 pesos (that’s enough to buy a bottle of drinking water — a much-needed commodity!) or if you can only spare a few pieces of used clothing. Each donation will be most appreciated.

Feel free to share this post with all of your friends. Encourage them to do something amazing this Christmas — and that is to help a brother and sister in dire need. Mindanao needs you. Daghang salamat!

Recommended in-kind donations: children’s clothing, baby clothing, baby feeding bottles, milk, blankets, sleeping mats, tents or used tarpaulins, flashlights, slippers / footwear, batteries, cooking and eating utensils, water containers, candles, matches, medicine.

Please pack your donations well. You can send them via any LBC Express outlet nationwide until December 21, 2012 (although I was told that they do not accept used clothing or perishable goods as donations) or any Mail and More outlet. LBC and Mail and More will send these goods for FREE. You can also send your donations via SEAIR at their hangar at the domestic airport.
