“It is more rewarding to watch money change the world than to watch it accumulate. Siargao Super Typhoon Odette Action
Nine people have died, and hundreds have fallen ill with diarrhea in areas wrecked by Typhoon Odette (international name: Rai) last month, with aid officials warning of a health crisis as millions struggle to secure clean water and food. Three weeks after Odette struck southern and central islands, destroying thousands of homes and killing more than 400 people, relief work continues to deliver supplies to stranded residents left homeless by the storm. Patrick in cooperation with JCI and another local amazing organization acted quickly and sent 30 water filter systems and canned goods to the families in Siargao.
