Latest Update from the Field

GlobalGiving works with local university for Philippines disaster relief

By Bill Brower - GlobalGiving Staff, October 02, 2009 11:16 AM

Hello. GlobalGiving will be partnering with the Disaster Management Response Program at De La Salle University in Manila to provide relief following Tropical Storm Ketsana and subsequent flooding. These efforts are particularly important as the Philippines braces for another typhoon, expected to make landfall on Saturday.

The Disaster Management Response Program is currently collecting and deploying relief goods, and will be transitioning from this initial disaster recovery to helping communities rebuild in the coming days and weeks.

Your generous donation to our relief fund will be going to this local organization. We will be replacing the general fund on our website with a project giving details of the Disaster Management Response Program's activities (http://www.globalgiving.com/projects/philippinesdisasterresponse/). You will receive project updates as they are available from De La Salle. Please contact Bill Brower (bbrower@globalgiving.com) with any questions.
