I want to offer my prayers and convey my sympathy and profound condolences to the families of the victims of Typhoon Haiyan. I hope that our achat friends from there (and I know there are at least a few) are safe and tell them that they are in our thoughts.

Sending similar prayers and God Speed for loved ones, family and friends to be united once more.

It seems over a million people have been affected in the Philippines.  Around 10,000 people may have died in just one area of the Philippines hit by Typhoon Haiyan, according to officials.
One of the worst storms on record, it destroyed homes, schools and an airport in the eastern city of Tacloban.
Neighbouring Samar island was also badly affected, with reports of 300 people dead and 2,000 missing.
The Philippine government has so far only confirmed the deaths of 151 people throughout the country, but hundreds of thousands have been displaced.


Thinking of you. xxx

It seems that always those who don't have anything lose even her last goods. I'm wishing everyone all the best. International support has just started and I hope they will rescue as much as possible.

Offering my prayers to the families of the victims...

I've just found this:


9 Ways to Help Victims of Typhoon Haiyan
Typhoon Haiyan ripped through the Philippines on Friday, causing a 20-foot rise in sea waters and packing winds of up to 147 miles per hour. Authorities are calling it one the country's worst natural disasters on record.

More than 10,000 people are believed to be dead in the city of Tacloban alone, with death tolls continuing to rise, according to the AP. While the eastern island of Leyte was hit hardest, there was also extensive damage to roads and houses on neighboring islands. Around 4 million people were affected by the typhoon.

Rescue and relief efforts are underway, with many organizations mobilizing teams on the ground to get victims access to clean water, medical supplies and food. If you want to help, consider making online donations.

We've compiled a list of nine organizations to which you can contribute, below:

    The United Nations World Food Programme: The WFP has set up an online donation page that will help rush food and resources to the regions affected.

    The Philippine Red Cross: Donations will help mobilize teams on the ground with rescue and relief efforts.

    UNICEF: Donations will help children gain access to medical supplies and clean drinking water. "Safe drinking water can be impossible to find after such a massive natural disaster. And without it, a child will drink whatever water she can find, no matter how dirty or diseased. That drink can quickly lead to diarrhea, disease and death," UNICEF president Caryl M. Stern said.

    World Vision: World Vision is working to get food and resources to those in evacuation shelters.

    Catholic Relief Services: CRS is helping with the storm's aftermath by getting supplies and staff into the area.

    Salvation Army: Donate online for the Salvation Army's relief efforts, or text TYPHOON to 80888 to immediately donate $10.

    Save the Children: Donations will help children and families in the Philippines, Laos and Vietnam. Ten percent of every donation will go toward preparing for any future disasters in the area.

    Habitat for Humanity: Donations will help create shelter-repair kits for families rebuilding their homes.

    GlobalMedic: The Canadian organization is working to get clean water to victims.

Having gone through something similar last year (tho not nearly to the extent of Haiyan), I would ask everyone here to make a donation via one of the organizations that Marilyn has listed.  Even if it's just a dollar (or the equivalent in your country) it will help someone.  That dollar may be the one that makes a difference.

If you have an facebook account, you can easily donate. Look at the top of the website, you just have to click, choose how to pay (eg paypal) and you donate 10 Euro (13 USD) - not much but each amount is wonderful.
