When disasters come over a community one thing is of utmostest importance. The Mobilisation of volunteer teams. Government, army, firebrigades are professionals in first response and for sure do their job in a way nobody can. However the volunteers, the frontliners who reach out to were the need is the greatest have their place in an operation to help people back to a normal life. 

NACSEARelief organized over the weekend 8-9th November various teams who went to action. To mention are our partner Organisation HALLEL with whom we operated already in the earthquake stricken North of Cebu. The Cebu office of STAMM Logistics organized the outreach to the homeless typhoon victims and of course also a group of the youth of the NAC Cebu congregation maned a front line. They faced many difficulties as the roads were obstructed but were met by thankful needy people. One of the volunteers relayed that people are traumatized, afraid and hungry. They rewarded us with a smile for what we could give them. 

Also in the earthquake stricken areas the situation is far from normal. A team reached out to the farthest affected area in Davao Oriental. 

The results of these activities are being analyzed and further relief actions will be  planed.  Great challenges in the field of rebuilding homes are waiting for us. We are thankful for the ongoing support of our sponsors and donors.

So very crowded with up to 150+ in each basketball court, schools
