Make a donation to the Red Cross for Philippines relief.

Syndicated article from Global Red Cross Response Efforts: http://www.redcross.org/news/article/Red-Cross-Sends-Support-to-Philippines-for-Typhoon-Response?&nbsp

 

When responding overseas, the American Red Cross works closely with the affected Red Cross society to provide the level of staff support and assistance requested.

Posted November 12, 2013 , Updated article

Help people affected by the Pacific typhoon. 

Last Friday, Super Typhoon Haiyan tore through the Pacific islands of the Philippines, leaving behind a scene of destruction and despair. The global Red Cross network is responding to emergency needs in the Philippines with food, water, and relief supplies, and the American Red Cross is lending people, expertise and equipment to this massive effort. 

While Red Cross relief efforts are well underway, blocked roads, destroyed infrastructure and downed communication lines are making the response particularly challenging.

The Philippines, a nation of more than 7,000 islands, faces enormous devastation in the aftermath of Typhoon Haiyan that produced record strength winds along with high storm surges. Approximately 10 million people across 40 provinces have been affected with as many as 600,000 people displaced and the death toll continuing to rise. 

PHILIPPINE RED CROSS ON THE GROUND The Philippine Red Cross is leading this response effort and their volunteers have been caring for people even before Typhoon Haiyan made landfall. Prior to the arrival of Typhoon Haiyan, the Philippine Red Cross worked closely with local disaster authorities to support preemptive evacuations, helping move more than 125,000 families to safer shelters. The Philippine Red Cross also disseminated early warning messages and safety tips in areas along the path of the typhoon.

Days later, Philippine Red Cross volunteer rescue and relief teams continue to provide assistance in the hardest hit communities, including assisting in search and rescue efforts. The Philippine Red Cross has extensive experience in search and rescue and large-scale relief and recovery programs. The Philippine Red Cross is the largest humanitarian organization in the country, with 1,000 staff members and an estimated 500,000 active volunteers engaged in response to this emergency. 

The Philippine Red Cross has begun distributions of relief supplies and volunteers are packing more supplies to send to all the affected areas. However, delivery of supplies in the worst affected city of Tacloban has been significantly constrained by damage to local infrastructure. Typhoon Haiyan hit the city of about 220,000 people the hardest with a tsunami-like storm surge pushing a wall of water nearly 10 feet high inland.

Specialized emergency response teams from Red Cross societies across the globe are moving into the Philippines to assist the Philippine Red Cross. These include teams with expertise in logistics, disaster assessment, shelter, health, water and sanitation. 

AMERICAN RED CROSS RESPONSE EFFORTS The American Red Cross is among those societies helping support the response efforts of the Philippine Red Cross. Four people from the American Red Cross have arrived in the Philippines. These include two people who specialize in telecommunication and who are travelling with satellite equipment, and two others who specialize in disaster assessment. 

When responding overseas, the American Red Cross response is different than a typical disaster response in the United States, working closely with the affected Red Cross society who serves as the lead to provide the level of staff support and assistance requested. 

The American Red Cross is also helping to reconnect families separated by this typhoon and has activated its family tracing services. If people are looking for a missing family member in the Philippines, please remember that many phone lines are down. If people are unable to reach loved ones, contact your local chapter of the American Red Cross to initiate a family tracing care.

The American Red Cross remains in close contact with the Philippine Red Cross, and more help and assistance will be provided in the days ahead.

People who want to donate to the American Red Cross to support the response for this typhoon can go to redcross.org or call 1-800-REDCROSS.

ATTENTION: 

Due to the lack of details and communication, I have decided to pull A Thousand WordZ involvement with the April 21st Oakland Nimby show. 

I will be contacting all parties invited and confirmed for this event personally. Thank you for your level of interest and support. Without support and creativity, A Thousand WordZ is a very small picture.

Blessings,
Atiim Chenzira,
Founder
A Thousand WordZ.

An organization of mixed genre artists who share their works in community to build community, which is the bigger picture. 

A Thousand WordZ is currently looking to conduct smaller focused shows. We will ask for participants once we locate a few venues to partner with. Be well, and thank you for your participation.

Hi Atiim,

As Director of Communications, I am based in Partners In Health's Boston office. Like you, I often rely on our colleagues on the ground in Haiti to hear the latest updates.

This morning I took a moment to look back through many of the pictures that have come across my desk in the past 12 months. In every photo, the resilience of our Haitian colleagues -- every one of whom has experienced the loss of a parent, child, sibling or dear friend -- is overwhelmingly apparent.

And today, it's clear to see that we've made a real impact in Haiti. Thanks to your donations and the hard work of our colleagues on the ground, Haiti's story has become more than a tale of tragedy -- it has become a story of hope and dignity against all odds.

Take a look at these photos to see what we have achieved together -- and then leave a note of support for the men and women doing this vital work.

http://pih.org/send-a-message 

Zanmi Lasante, PIH's Haitian sister organization, and its 4,000 Haitian staff played an integral role in rapid response efforts in the days and weeks after the earthquake. Your support also helped us to maintain a constant presence on the ground. To date we have treated over 200,000 patients at PIH clinics in spontaneous settlements, and we've more than doubled our mental health team staff to 70. And as we continue to serve those in need, we've redoubled our efforts on important long-term projects that will improve public health in Haiti for years to come.

Some of those projects are large, like the new 320-bed teaching hospital we're building in Mirebalais. Others are of a smaller scale -- like our work with a young woman named Carmene whose legs had to be amputated after a wall collapsed on her during the earthquake.

Doctors from PIH and our partners at Hopital Albert Schweitzer fitted Carmene for new prosthetic legs two months after the quake. Now, she has joined the rebuilding effort herself. Hired by Zanmi Lasante as a Community Health Worker, she supports the mental and physical rehabilitation of other patients with disabilities.

Carmene's story is just one among hundreds of thousands in Haiti. But it illustrates the real difference that we've made day in and day out thanks to the support of people like you.

Every day our Haitian colleagues are at work serving their community. Please take a moment to see how much progress they've made and leave them a word of support -- we'll be sending all of your messages to our team in Haiti.

Thank you so much for getting involved with Partners In Health and Zanmi Lasante. I feel deeply, deeply proud of our work -- and so should you.

With profound thanks,

Andrew Marx
Director of Communications

Dear A Thousand Wordz and; D.N.A Brewing Organization:

As you know the response in the days following the earthquake in Haiti were both immediate and critical. After my initial trip upon finding my mother safe, I knew that I had to return to Haiti and deliver immediate assistance to the people of Haiti. Currently to date the money we raised has allowed us to:

* Organized a Medical Clinic administered by New York partners (Marly and Qaid) in conjunction with

doctors and nurses from Humanity First

* Provided additional medical supplies to the Humanity First Clinic in Turgeau

* Bought & Distributed food to Families in Trugeau: 525 lbs. of rice, 600 lbs. of beans, 118 lbs. of cornmeal,

155 lbs. of barley, and 120 lbs. of pasta

* Bought 100 large temporary housing structures made with canopies (10ft x 12ft) and tarps

* Installed 2 water filtration systems which will produce and provide over 1000 gallons per hour.

* Bought art from local artists to be sold at Fundraiser in Seattle

* Delivered 5400 gallons of filtered, potable drinking water

Your contribution of $500.00 will be directed towards rebuilding Targeau, an area of Port au Prince where my family is directly affected. We have identified a total of 9 homes & 1 school that need to be rebuilt. When others were still debating how to deliver assistance, we were doing it. In a matter of days and from hundreds of miles away from Haiti we mobilized, found the resources and hand delivered them. We could not have achieved this without organizations like yours.

We are the conduit for the contribution to humanity that you wish to make. Every dollar you donate goes to help people in Haiti affected by this devastating earthquake. I thank you for your faith in me to deliver assistance and create a better life for the people of Haiti. And I hope to have your continued support in this task to rebuild Haiti. Please continue to follow the progress we make via our website blog, www.strengththroughunity.org (L'Union Fait La Force).

With Sincere Gratitude,

David Pierre-Louis
