Continuing The Outreach To Typhoon Victims PDF Print E-mail
November 2009

Typhoon Ondoy flood victims In November and December, we will continue to serve typhoon victims during outreach and provide these women and their families with basic material assistance.  We will also give these women the opportunity to receive trauma counseling from volunteer counselors; we hope to help meet not only physical, but also emotional and spiritual needs in this time of great difficulty.

We would like to say a huge “Thank You!” to all who have given special gifts to Samaritana at this time of calamity. Your generosity is enabling us to be able to meet immediate felt needs of traumatized storm victims, create openings for deeper relationship, and the possibility of decisions for lasting transformation in the future.

On September 25th, Samaritana sent a team of six to one of our partners, RENEW Foundation (www.RENEW-foundation.org) in Angeles City, for a joint training session on conducting outreach, and exposure to the situation of prostituted women there.  The two teams shared experiences, encouraged one another, and explored new ideas for outreach activities in their respective settings.  Although Samaritana's team had originally planned to join an anti-trafficking march in Angeles the next day, they decided to go home early because of an impending typhoon.  While they were on the bus heading back to Quezon City, Typhoon Ondoy hit Metro Manila and surrounding provinces. The highway exit was flooded, and they were stranded on the bus for over 10 hours.
