From:
v_uychutin@yahoo.com Dear Rtn. Ed Mattson, Thank you for your email. In our province of Laguna all coastal towns were affected including our town Cabuyao. So I can only talk about the situation in our town of Cabuyao, Province of Laguna, Philippines.
Six (6) coastal barangays (villages) were submerged during the typhoons that
hit us this month. More or less 10,000 families lives in these villages.
About 2,500 families
are still in the evacuation centers.

by almost everybody. Those in their respective homes but still submerged

Dear Sir:
I am a doctor by profession and in the practice of alternative medicine.As
cases of Leptospirosis is running high due to the floodings, it would be of
great help to us if we can solicit an HBOT machine also known as
HyperbaricOxygen Therapy chamber.
As the causitive agent of Leptospirosis is bacteria, studies have shown
increasing levels of oxygen prevents multiplication of bacteria thus helping
in the arrest of the bacteria while waiting for the anti-microbials to work
on he patient. A used machine is okay so long as it is working then we can
start therapy for this patients that are dying everyday.
Sincerely,
Dr. Lily Kho |

your donations (easy to cook food, potable water and/or cash) along

Dear sir,
In order to provide immediate aide to those in the evacuation centers, MOST
ESPECIALLY THOSE WHO ARE IN OUR TENT CITY FROM SHELTERBOX wherein we are a
recepient of 34 tents that house almost five hundred people composes of
seventy five families. But there are still lots of families in the schools
and in other evacuation areas which we cannot accommodate in our tent city
due to limited available tents but we will gladly assist them in anyway that
we can.
The need is urgent and our efforts are sincere. Let us take this chance to
give back to our community.

By day the students uses the classrooms and by night its the evacuees turn
to use the classrooms. This situation has affected the students' learning.
Noting this situation, we got help from the Shelter Box Response Team
organization. Our town of Cabuyao was allocated 22 shelter box and 12
shelter box tents, which are being taken cared of by the Rotary Club of
Cabuyao Circles and Rotary Club of Cabuyao, respectively. We transfered some
evacuees to these shelter boxes and tents to alleviate the situation in the
school classrooms serving as temporary evacuation area. However these number
of tents can only accomodate about 66 families.
nee deep waters and those in the evacuation centers including our two
Shelter box camp rely on few deep well water pumps (manual). For the
drinking needs of the infants and children they buy purified water. But only
a few of these people are moneyed enough to buy the purified water hence,
they rely purely on the deep well.
1.
Like with the Shelter Box and AquaBox the consignee should be our District
3820 Governor first and then they in turn distribute the waterboxes to the
individual concerned rotary clubs who in turn strategically assign the units
to a particular pre-determined area (most probably it will be placed on any
of our two shelter box camps in case we are allocated only one unit).
As of this time we have distributed over seven hundred (700) relief 
As
of this time we have distributed over five thousand (5,000) relief bags
containing grocery items and dry clothes to the affected families. However,
this initial and immediate effort is short of what is desperately needed. We
realize that such a task is too big if we rely only on our capabilities and
already tapped resources. Thus, we come to you with hope that together, we
can be allies in helping our community back to its feet once again. Let us
assist you in sending help to the victims of “Ondoy” in our community. 
Our
club is gladly offering our services to bring and distribute your donations
(easy to cook food, potable water and/or cash) along with the relief
goods that we are continually packing for distribution. Also, we are looking
at providing the most affected families who have lost their homes to attain
transitional housing. This endeavor may be huge, but all together, we can
make it happen. We will be glad to discuss with you other short-term and
long term assistances and developmental programs for the victims of "Ondoy”
at any time you can accommodate us. We are now on the process of helping
with the rehabilitation for the victims of the typhoon who lost everything. 
It is heartwarming to know that fellow Rotarians from the different
districts and countries around
the world have shown their concern by sending disaster
relief aids of all kinds.
Project Hope
deployed medical aid from the East Coast (several other Nagy's added to
the cargo containers); Hawaii opted to work with the SOUTH COM and
NGBIA-SPP (military liaisons) to stage and then transport donated
goods to the South Pacific; D-5100, 5110, 5020, and 5030, partnered
with D-5000 to set-up the Seattle to Hawaii transportation route; Old
Dominion Freight (D-7690) has offered to assist where possible to
act as our back-haul agency to get goods to either coast for shipment;
and various, Rotary Clubs, Districts, Interact, Kiwanis Clubs, and
Sertoma Clubs went about the task of raising money for WaterBoxes. Most
all were members of the Humanitarian Network so activation was pretty
easy.
The South Pacific has been a "learning
curve" and much of the coordination was done by Network personnel
because we were not totally automated when the disaster stuck. When

The problem isn’t that there’s no water,
its that there’s too much water and it isn’t drinkable. If we can’t help our brothers
and sisters to get clean water, there will soon be an outbreak of waterborne
illness and disease. People will die needlessly from preventable causes. Instead of trying to
ship water, we have the opportunity to get water filtering kits delivered where they're
needed at a much more realistic cost. Please check out the relief effort and solutions
described on these websites:
We've been on the needy end of exactly
this kind of disaster and others from across the globe contributed to our aid and
recovery. This time, I’m appealing to the Rotarians of our District to step up and
save others from
disease and death. Their future is in your hands. The easy thing to do is put this letter
aside and do nothing, or say it is too much trouble, or “l'll get to that later”. I’m asking you to
put Service Above Self and do something, anything, within your means. I've attached a very
brief flyer you can distribute to raise awareness.
