On the 8th November 2013, a 300kph super typhoon destroyed Panay Island, Philippines and left millions homeless. As a result of the catastrophe, thousands are living with no electricity power, and are living in the dark after 6pm.
A brief story of the survivors of Panay Island.
Panay Island is located 500km away from Manila. It was the last island where the typhoon Haiyan destroyed after Tacloban on 8th November 2013. Although it has been almost three months since typhoon Haiyan hit Panay Island, thousands still live in the dark. Many are living with no homes, proper food or clean water.
Sadly, the villagers live in temporary make shift shelters that leaks badly when it rains, food supply is limited, no clean water and thousands are living without electricity as of today. I have been living and traveling around Panay Island for more almost 4 months now and still see the devastation and destroyed lives of the people here.
Project – “GIVE THEM LIGHT’
The “Give Them Light” project supplies and donates solar-powered light to the villages in Panay Island. We wish to donate a minimum of 1,000 Nokero Solar Powered Lights to these villages, Crossing Lais, Loguingot and other poor families in Panay Island.
My personal target is to raise RM13,500 for 300 solar lights (Each Nokero solar light cost RM45.00) The 300 solar lights will be distributed by myself and NGO partners in Panay Island.
On March 22, 2014, we have receive and donated 190 Nokero Solar lights. See the video and photos attached.
Any amount is good, RM10, RM20, RM50.. your choice, just dig deep and donate, every little effort counts!
