NOW that we’re ALL trying to mobilize efforts and resources to help the thousands of people devastated by super typhoon YOLANDA, having a list of CREDIBLE and EFFECTIVE Organizations is important. I will be adding more organizations and contacts as we go along. 

LISTED here are the contacts and venues in Metro Manila of GMA Network Relief Efforts, the Phil Red Cross and MVP Group of Companies. The links to the official websites are beneath the organization name.

Donations don’t always mean cash or kind. Consider volunteering in these organizations as well. You can choose different locations that may be near you. OR the easiest means to help whether you’re in the Philippines or anywhere in the world. Thank you, please share in facebook and twitter. Thank you to everyone who has already helped, please continue to pray and have the victims in your thoughts.
