WIMLER HK Kicks off fund raising drive to help victims of Typhoon Yolanda

Updated 12.12.2013

WIMLER Foundation Hong Kong joins many individuals and organizations worldwide in raising funds and collecting goods to help the victims of typhoon Yolanda which claimed the lives of estimated 10,000 people. Leyte and Samar provinces suffered most of the brunt of the devastating typhoon claimed to be the strongest typhoon ever recorded.

The directors of WIMLER held a board meeting yesterday evening and agreed that our modest contributions will go to Bantayan Island, Cebu and Coron, Palawan. Help in these areas are minimal at the moment since most of the relief is concentrated in Leyte and rightfully so.

So far, we have groups and individuals which expressed interest to initiate fund raising drives in partnership with WIMLER HK.

This article is especially created to record all these initiatives, the donations we  received, and the progress of the drive.

From Karen:

•           Hi! please call me Karen ( can i call you joy..). Actually 90% ng Bantayan Island  is devastated. But yes, true enough in Bantayan mainland there's one barangay that was washed out, Suba sitio Baluarte, then Sta Fe, barangay Talisay, and then Madridejos. Houses located near the sea were all washed out.  I still have to check on these sites again on Saturday when I go there for medical relief operation. Hopefully, after this weekend will go back to again help out.

 I hope this time with the the staff of Mactan Med where I work and with your help, we hope we can donate GI sheets for the roof. I heard we can get it at around 350 pesos more or less.  You can also suggest  that's the one I can think about for now, kasi with the medicines we can just ask that from the representatives. 

Thank you so much Joy for the concern, it breaks my heart to see the victims. God Bless and stay safe.

By the way, they said  Bantayan  is already accessible. We hope we can already travel by RoRo so we can bring  the goods there as well. Will send you pix when I get there.
