Just this past weekend, a typhoon raged across the Philippines and the surrounding area. The storm was one of the most intense and powerful on record. The Filipino military has reported 924 people dead, but it is estimated that there could be as many as 10,000 that were taken by the storm. Communication lines in several places were destroyed, and it was unknown where the possible survivors were. Many Filipinos were able to evacuate the premises, but those that stayed behind are the expected dead. There is a large settling of Filipinos in Canada, and their hopes and prayers go out to their homeland. Already Canadians in many towns and cities are donating towards the cause, and asking if there is any way they can help in the effort towards helping the Philippines.
