On March 28, the 7.7-magnitude earthquake hit Myanmar. According to our local news, the death toll rose to 3,471, with 4,671 injured, and another 214 still missing as of April 6. Emergency response teams from all over the world are coming to help.
Rod Santos, head of GAiN PH, visited the affected areas. Along with local groups, they did relief efforts. He also helped other organizations by doing need assessments on site. Hundreds are still living on the streets, a lot of them wounded not receiving medical help. Hospitals are overwhelmed, and government workers are also affected.
With what we, as individuals, are able to do when others are in dire need of help, we must do our best. Beautiful hope for humanity comes from witnessing different people from all over being moved by compassion to aid others who are suffering. GAiN PH desires to encourage and uplift those who are in need and everyone who helps.
Sincerely,
Global Aid Network – GAiN Philippines
