Operation Walang Iwanan is Activated: TYPHOON YOLANDA

                  

It has been one blow after another for our country. Just as we were about move to reconstruction efforts for Bohol earthquake victims, Super-typhoon Yolanda (Int'l name: Haiyan) came and cut through our country like a scythe, bringing unprecedented damage throughout the Visayas islands. The impact area is very wide and the devastation is consistent. And there are so many small isles and isolated areas that are left alone to survive, especially when there is no media coverage that can reach them.

But the scale of the problem is nothing compared to the overflow of generosity as friends and partners rally together to help our fellow Filipinos rise again. Team GK is just one of the organizations at the front lines, and we’re focusing our efforts in the following areas:

We are gathering food packs containing a combination of rice, canned goods and water. Each food pack costs Php200 and is good for 4-6 meals for a family of 5. We are targeting 50,000 food packs given the magnitude of the need.
