The New People Power

Excerpt from Facebook
by Jason Quinones

My colleague and I and 2 Deaf students (as part of the SDEAS team), together with Sr. Valeriana and Sr. Antonette of Tahanang Walang Hagdanan went to a small community (Espana Village in New York, Cubao) affected by 'Ondoy'.

We could only bring porridge, boiled eggs and several packs of relief goods. You could really see the desperation and hunger in their eyes, especially the little children. At this point, they need cooked food but they need more than food to rebuild their lives.

So if you could help, please give what you can. Money, clothes, blankets, diapers, food, your time or your talent... believe me, any help would be deeply appreciated. If you know of any other small communities that have not yet been reached by relief operations, please go to them directly.

This is the new people power. It's time that we come together once again for our brothers and sisters...for our country!
