These days have been so hard for the Philippines. Not just for the people who had been affected by the super typhoon Yolanda (6 days ago) in Visayas but for all the Filipino people. Our faith and trust to God were truly tested. Scenes and reports from the different networks were really heartbreaking. Literally heartbreaking. Honestly, they were depressing most especially when you couldn't comfort them right away.
But, it is amusing to know that many organizations, companies and individuals even from different countries helped immediately. The care of each and everyone just proved that we all have this "bayanihan" spirit. God is really working in His own ways. He sends these angels to help those victims of Yolanda.
You know, we should and could help. Even in the smallest way. You really don't have to pledge 1M pesos to Red Cross. Just send your stuff to a garage sale which will be helping the victims is already a big thing. Sending some medicines, clothes, food and water could help a lot of people. I'm sure your parents and family would help you. After all, it is better to give than to receive. A helping hand is all we need now.
Here are some ways on how you could help:

Still, amazing on how the Filipino people came out together even the whole world. I guess that's the "bayanihan" spirit all about. Do your part. All we need is a helping hand and a big heart.
