Shelter needed!

People on the islets need shelter.  We were just told that people are back to their respective islets.  When I asked a friend who was just there for delivering relief, she said that there are no more houses on the islets.  I was actually hoping that it was only their roofs that got blown away... but sadly, no.

We will scout shops in Bacolod and Iloilo tomorrow for some tents.  Just hoping that there's an ongoing sale.

I am in Bacolod at the moment and it is raining.  I can't imagine what the situation of the people on the islets are with their makeshift shelters.  It can be cold.  Children and the elderly are our concern.

If you got spare tarps and tents, we would be happy to bring them to the islets.

We have now agreed to initially use the available money for some rice and some tents to be delivered to Silagon as soon as possible.

Feel free to contact us!

P.S.
The tents that you will donate can be a source of income in the future for the people in the island.  They can rent it to tourists in the future.  Just an idea!
