Pancake Breakfast: Support the Victims of Typhoon Haiyan

Last week, Super Typhoon Haiyan (also known as Super Typhoon Yolanda) made landfall in the central islands of the Philippines. This has been one of the most severe typhoons ever recorded- Haiyan brought sustained winds of 235km/h.

The UN has estimated that 9.5 million people have been affected nationally, and 10,000 have lost their lives. The City of Tacloban has seen the most severe damage, and national and international aid workers are struggling to get access to the area because roads and airports have been damaged.

A 7.1 magnitude earthquake struck the City of Bohol just three weeks ago, and has now seen even more damage because of the typhoon.

Filipinos need your help. Any donated amount will go a long way; even $5 can provide up to 12L of drinking water for those affected.

 

This upcoming Monday, WASA will be serving pancakes, fruit, coffee, juice, etc. for $5 per person. All proceeds will go to the Aboitiz Foundation in support of the victims of Typhoon Haiyan.
