More than a week after the devastating storm, local and international relief continuously pour in and authorities in the Philippines are still trying to cope with getting aid to those affected.
There are many ways on how you can help victims of Typhoon Haiyan. As tons of food have arrived in the Philippines, thousands of volunteers now play a major part and serve as back bone of the relief operation centers.
The Philippine Air Force said volunteers are welcome at its repacking site at Villamor Airbase. The Public Information Office (PIO) of the PAF told that the repacking of relief goods is ongoing at the Villamor Air Base gym, and that volunteers could just walk in.
We had a conversation opportunity on one of its volunteers, Dhar Aradanas, he told that though there are so many volunteers now helping at the venue, PAF is still in dire need of more volunteers to repack relief goods. There still lots of unopened relief packages. Dhar mentioned that volunteers are now doing the four-hour shifting schedule and grouped into team with 10 persons each, designated in different tasks, their team needs to load at least 1,000 sacks of re-packed relief goods in PAF C-130s and helicopters in a daily basis.
The Tent City at Villamor Airbase Elementary School is also in need of volunteer Doctors and Nurses, currently they are sheltering 31 individuals and another 50 is on the way. They need practitioners as some evacuees need medical assistance. If you have the capacity, you can directly visit the Tent City.
Volunteering gives you an opportunity to change lives, including your own. If you're in Manila, tag your friends, Philippine Air force Gymnasium is located inside the Camp of Villamor Air base, Pasay City beside Resorts World Manila and adjacent to NAIA Terminal 3.
And to all incredible volunteers out there, who continue to lend their time, for lifting up the spirit of Bayanihan, we say.. Thank you!
