Photos from the Philippines

Malou Navio, coordinator of the Antipolo project in the Philippines, sent photos of the destruction left behind by Typhoon Ketsana. The three CFCA projects, Manila, Antipolo and Quezon, impacted by the typhoon are distributing food and water, and assessing the extent of the damage. CFCA has reported no deaths or severe injuries among sponsored members. Below you will see some of the photos from Malou. You can read an update on the situation here and see more photos on the CFCA Facebook page here.

Sponsors and others wishing to help may donate to CFCA’s Disaster Assistance Fund. One hundred percent of donations to this fund are sent to CFCA projects to help individuals and families affected by disasters. Funds donated are used where they are most needed.
