BR, Gerry ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SAN DIEGO GROUP MOBILIZES to AID TYPHOON VICTIMS San Diego, CA - Gawad Kalinga USA quickly mobilized to aid victims in areas hardest hit by Typhoon Haiyan which devastated coastal areas of the Philippines this past weekend. While no town was left untouched by high winds and floods, the central islands of the Visayas bore the brunt of the storm. Even before the typhoon cleared the area, GK-USA began organizing the community to gather donations for the many survivors. The group is asking the public to donate funds to purchase food packs which consists of bottled water, canned goods and rice for a family of four, which will last them 3-days. Each food pack costs $5.00, less than the price of a kid’s meal at fast food restaurants. “So far, we’ve been able to purchase 20,000 food packets,” says Tony Olaes local leader and Director of GK-USA. “As soon as we get the money, we wire it so that our affiliates can purchase and deliver more.” GK’s goal is to purchase 200,000 food packs. Donors will be happy to know that, 98-cents of every dollar donated to the group for this relief effort, goes directly to the purchase of the food packets. “Our Philippine affiliate has waived all remittance fees, so that the money goes to those in most need,” says Olaes. Many other relief agencies are sending aid, including the US Military and the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees who are providing medical supplies, tents and similar supplies. However, many of the roads leading into Tacloban and surrounding areas are difficult to travel and in some cases,impassable. Gawad Kalinga currently has relief teams already in those areas, clearing roads -- so that food, drinking water and other supplies can reach the typhoon victims.
