Little did I know that I will be having an adventure-packed afternoon today.My friend Phillip picked me up from China (my office) and informed me, the moment I slammed the car's door, that we are heading to the Fifth Mountatin of Balakayo in Barangay Olympog and that we will be "accompanying" the staff of Rated K for a look-see.

Having lived practically my whole life in Gensan, I still am a stranger to my land. We had to go and get  my husband so he can show us the way. Apparently, this is another #Kapalaran for us courtesy of Phillip and his love to promote the tourism industry of our City. How can I resist such a noble cause? And so off we went to faraway Balakayo.

Nepal was left grief-stricken after the massive destruction brought  by a 7.8 magnitude earthquake last April 25, 2015. Kathmandu's old city  reduced to rubble.






















This natural calamity has affected an estimated 7 Million people --2.8 of whom are children--needing urgent food assistance, clean water to drink,temporary shelters , sanitation and protection from disease outbreak.

The situation must be unbearable. It made me cry watching the news. My heart goes to the children who are always the most vulnerable in times of emergency. They need help.

While people all over the world had already sent aid in different forms, I've read somewhere that help is still needed. WE CAN STILL HELP. Even in our littlest ways. Even if we are far from Nepal. 

Give to UNICEF. I just did.

Unicef is working around the clock, mobilizing critical emergency supplies. Thru them, we will be able to bring clean water, hygiene kits, medicines and even tent spaces to give temporary shelter to  families huddling together outdoors.

You may choose to send for any of the packages below or you can make a regular donation. Any amount sent is help going its way to Nepal.
