How you can help: Typhoon Yolanda Relief

In light of the devastation that Typhoon Yolanda has left in the Visayas I urge everyone to pray for the people and situation there. Give what you can and offer what you can. Now is the time to act and to help. I am sure that we will be able to rise up and move forward from this with God's mercy and grace!
Here below are some ways you can help.

Send items via Philippine Airlines

from the  FB Page of PAL

(Updated as of November 12, 2013)

Philippine Airlines will start the free airlifting of critical supplies and relief goods for victims of typhoon Yolanda in the hardest hit areas of the Visayas region following the resumption of operations of some of the affected airports.

The PAL Humanitarian Cargo Grant, which is open to government agencies, SEC-registered foundations, non-profit and charitable organizations will cover the following necessities: medicines, medical supplies, hygiene products; toiletries such as new underwear, and ready-to-eat products such as dried fish and dried fruits, which cannot be readily sourced in the affected areas.

To help ensure the efficient processing and delivery of goods, PAL said that only donors under the said categories, duly-registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission, will be eligible to avail of the grant.

To maximize cargo space for these critical necessities, the grant will not include products that are either already distributed by the local government units or available near the calamity-stricken areas. These include canned goods such as sardines, noodles, and bottled water.

PAL will fly the goods on a space availability basis.

Donors only need to contact the PAL Foundation at telephone numbers (02) 851-2980 or (02) 8526090 (telefax) or email palfoundation@pal.com.ph and provide their name, the contact information of the consignee, and a list of the contents of the shipment.

The PAL Foundation will then contact the donors to inform them whether their shipments are eligible for free airlift.
