Providing relief in the Philippines

From Christian Today-

The Anglican Board of Mission (ABM) has been on the ground in the Philippines assessing the damage and supporting the relief provided in the wake of Typhoon Haiyan.

ABM staff member, Lina Magallanes has just returned from the Philippines where she met with staff of ABM’s partners, the Episcopal Church of the Philippines (ECP) and Independent Philippines Iglesia (IFI) who are contributing to the relief effort.

Lina said the relief effort is large and multi-faceted, with locals clearly devastated yet those who can are still helping to volunteer and support those people who have lost their loved ones, their properties and their sources of income.

“The mobilisation of volunteers to pack emergency relief goods is a massive undertaking in itself. The ECP, as part of its own emergency relief activities, is putting together relief packs in the national cathedral compound where there is sufficient space for the packing activities and goods are being loaded into trucks,” she said.
