First Anniversary - Typhoon Haiyan/Yolanda in the Philippines

On November 8, 2013 the Philippines was hit by a devastating typhoon Haiyan also called Yolanda. Over 6,000 people died and many lost their homes. The government was slow in responding to people's needs and much of the help came from grassroots organizations and communities inside and outside of the Philippines. Many of us here in the U.S. came together to help our family and friends back home in the Philippines. Our efforts are certainly powerful, but much work need to continue in order to build a sustainable Philippines. 

Join many Filipinos on Saturday, November 8th and commemorate those we lost, those who survived, and efforts made to help the Philippines.
