Philippine Typhoon 2013

After a month, Joven and Anita can use the fan because they finally have electricity!!! This is definitely something to be thankful for considering how hot it gets there. 

The Antolins are waiting for the most recent wire transfer to land in their bank before they go about helping Altavas. Joven predicts they can assist 1000 people!!

From Joven and Anita:
"We are planning to go to Altavas as several communities there still have not received any assistance. it is so located in Aklan province. Can we call upon you once again on behalf of these people? We would like to let them know that GOD has not forgotten them. We will use whatever limited surplus we have to carry some of their burdens. They need rebuilding materials and relief goods.

Anita brought 14000 feet of tarps for roofing materials, 275 kilos of nails, 60 kilos of galvanized wire for tying the tarps and 500 blankets. It is not common for people to think of hardware materials as a part of relief goods but this is an incredible need. Food and clothing items become useless when people get soaked in the rain.

We brought 40 sacks of rice and 6 big boxes of nails. We are now planning to bring special water purifiers to the community and this will provide potable water for long-term use instead of bottled ones. Got home really late last night and was so tired but we are blessed to bring the LOVE of GOD to this community .
