Help Manila After Ondoy

September 28th, 2009

This morning I was relieved to get an email from one of my IABC contacts in the Philippines, Rosan Cruz; I was worried about her when I heard about the devastating floods Manila has been reeling from in the wake of Typhoon Ondoy.

We don’t have to speak the language to hear the heartbreak in these people’s voices. And we certainly don’t have to be in Manila or geographically nearby to lift a helping hand.

Via Twitter, Rosan shared a link that tells you how you can help. I’m sure there are many others out there, though this seems quite a comprehensive list of what’s going on. If you’re trying to keep tabs on things via Twitter, the #ondoy search seems to be updating pretty frequently.

Please do what you can, even if it means “only” sharing news and information. As communicators, that’s the least we can do.

    Couple Things…

    This blog is where I sound off, mellow out and generally articulate thoughts I can no longer keep inside my head. It does not reflect the opinions of my clients, former employers, or anyone else. Well, perhaps sometimes those of my dog, Suzy Q... no, seriously, it's just me.

    Oh, one other thing: my blog = my sandbox. To play here, please be nice. Polite argument and respectful agreements to disagree are fine. Abusiveness is not. And you take responsibility for your comments - just as this is my blog, those are your comments, not mine.

    Phew. Glad that's over with. Let's play.
