If you’re living in Dubai and have a good heart, here’s how you can help our brothers and sisters who are currently in desperate need of your help in the aftermath of the biggest typhoon in the world. 1 canned good can feed one hungry soul out of the hundreds who are suffering the same so any help will do.
What they require:
1.) DO NOT PACK NOODLES OR ANYTHING THAT NEEDS WATER. There is no water and electricity so it is impossible to consume this kind of food.
2.) PACK MEDICINES – most especially basic medicines (biogesic, bioflu, robitussin etc). Also if possible, includ medicine for surface wounds as many have been wounded because of the debris and fallen rooftops.
3.) PACK AT LEAST ONE BOTTLE OF WATER. People are raging for water (some have even become violent just for water). There is no source of water at all at any part of Tacloban.
4.) PACK CANDLES AND MATCHES – there’s no electricity for a minimum of two months so all people will need these.
5.) ENCOURAGE YOUR RESPECTIVE GROUP/ORGANIZATION TO DONATE BODYBAGS. Bodies are lying around the roads within the city and some of the places have already been filled up with bodies.
Where you can bring it:
Canned goods and non-perishable foods can be delivered to Makati Cargo Express in Karama this Friday, 15NOV 4pm-8pm. Donations will be sent by air for free the next day to ABSCBN’s Sagip sa Pamilya in Cebu and Tacloban.
LBC Karama Office will accept your donations until 30NOV. Dubai Branch: Shop 4 Mubarak, Kahlifa Bldg., No. 75 10D Street, Al Karama, Dubai, UAE Customer Service Hotline: 800-035702444
For medicines, clothing, blankets or other goods you can bring your donations to the Philippine Consulate General and the Philippine Overseas Labour Office (POLO) in Dubai this Friday, 15NOV.
