Typhoon Ketsana

There is no way to describe the devastation left by typhoon Ketsana when it hit the Central Luzon area of the Philippines last September 26, 2009. It spared no one ... it spared nothing as it swooped into the country. The onslaught of this typhoon (Ondoy as it was called locally in the Philippines) was said to be enormous and was even claimed to be just as bad as typhoon Katrina which hit Louisiana, USA.

Directly after Ketsana, another typhoon followed (Pepeng) and at this point in time, another one is in the offing. Three horrible typhoons ... one after the other. What can one do? None but wait to ride it off its back. Only then can the Filipinos really start picking up the pieces of what was left behind.

How does one help? If you in any way you can have the means to donate anything, in cash or in kind, please do so. It will be very much appreciated.
