Philippines Flooding Relief

Dear Friend,

Thank you very much for your support to our project helping those affected by flooding. This project takes on greater attention by us as well as local supporters because of the unpredictability of the climate condtion happening compared to years before. Flooding is more frequent and more severe. The hillsides because there are less trees growing are contributory to flooding in the lowlands and this reporting period we engage local leaders to grow and care for trees. Added to our initiative is to link with organizations involved with carbon credit mechanisms so that we can enroll trees we plant and gain more resources in the process. Although this is entirely new to us, we think that we can do this with technical help from friends and contacts. With the tree growing activities, we were able to orient 25 leaders so that they will start the initiative in their own areas. Your help is very much needed. Thank you very much.

Very sincerely yours,

Cora Sayre

Dear Friend,

Thank you very much for your support to our project helping those affected by severe flooding especially poor farmers and their families. Flooding is a constant occurrence in the villages and this is a cause of hardship for the villagers. Their crops are destroyed and livelihoods are hampered. Flooding which is frequent and more stronger is caused by climate change and we think that this will go stronger as years go on. There is a need to provide resilience to the villagers and one of the ways to do it is by training them to do food gardens and providing vegetable seeds and farming tools. This reporting period we were able to support 73 farming families thanks a lot to your generous donations. Hoping that you will continue to support us. 

Very sincerely yours,

Cora Sayre
