9/2/09
Even with the school having half day operations, a number of Deaf volunteers still came in. We had to put the undistributed relief on the tables lest water threatens the classrooms/ offices again. We also had a briefing on the SDEAS communication system and what to do in case disaster strike.
Spoke with Richard of Philcoced. He inquired if we have more food to distribute. I said yes we have boiled eggs and kamote but the car can't travel far. We agreed to leave the food in Magic Touch, Edsa Central and Philcoced team would pick it up from there and bring to the intended PWD community. We had water to spare and medicines (4 boxes- full!) from the Social Action Office was added. He did mention that he hopes we can set up the kitchen and have a team help in the clean up efforts in TWH.
Mass capped the relief efforts for the week. We had to send the students home.
Another community (c/o interpreter Ronnie) from Novaliches/Fairview came in to request for relief. Good thing we have something ready to share.
Just before Pepeng starts I got a text from Richard that the relief was picked up and on its way to a community. Got a call from Noli Agcaoli who mentioned that the community enjoyed the adobo and binagoongan.
Some thoughts: hope telecom companies would also lower texting costs. We can't enjoy the P3/minute call since it can't be used by the deaf communities.
Nicky and I got texts from non-CSB deaf who reported that they too were affected by Ondoy.
Acknowledgements: thanks to the donors: Sary, Nicky's newest angel for the food; still to be picked up donations from Syngenta Foundation and Jaka.

October 1, 2009 Relief Operation in Tumana, Marikina
9/1/09
Deaf contingent went to Tumana (pam's place) to distribute goods. Went in 2 cars with roughly 200-250 relief packs. Community was so thankful because they have not yet received any relief even a stub. Some clothes were returned because food was more important.
Another group continued repacking. This time focused on food-rice and can goods.
In lieu of a b-day party, Nicky's 1-year old food party was sent to TWH thru Bahay Biyaya: Adobo and Binagoongang Baboy.
Deaf news and info formed

September 30 road to Tumana, Marikina
The road to Pam's house. Lots of people, former possessions now garbage line the streets. Mud was not an obstacle for people who wanted to go back to normalcy. Smiles and waving hands were always ready for the camera
