PACKING OF RELIEF GOODS FOR THE AFFECTED FAMILIES OF TYPHOON YOLANDA

For two days, volunteers from different walks of life came together to pack donations for 1,500 families in Basey, Western Samar and Hernani and Gen. McArthur, Eastern Samar.  These towns remained underserved by government aid since the super typhoon struck on November 8.  SOS medical and relief teams pushed to Samar today, November 20, to bring assistance.
