 HELP FOR THE CHILDREN OF MANILA, FROM SELIGOR'S CASTLE
SELIGOR'S CASTLE
PRESENTS
A PAGE FULL OF TINY NURSERY
RHYMES
FOR THE VERY
YOUNG
Millions of massive raindrops have
fallen on the ground;
They have danced on the
house-tops, They have hiden in the ground.
They
were liquid-like musicians, with anything for
keys,
Beating tunes upon the windows, keeping
time upon the trees.
SAD TO SAY THIS
WAS NOT SUCH A NICE RHYME FOR THE CHILDREN OF THE
PHILIPPINES, AND SO.....
Before I begin I
should like to say how sad I am for all the
Children made homeless by the terrible floods in
Manila, if you can't spare any money, which I am
sure we are all finding it a bit of a squeeze with
this recession. Clothes, especially chldrens
clothes will be so appreciated. The money can build
new houses and help rebuild the destroyed homes and
other buildings.
I am sure that most of the big
named Charity Shops here is a list of what aid
relief they need, this list Is fron online at the
Red
Cross.
Most urgent needs from the Red
Cross
www.RedCross.org.uk/Prepare
Food items: Rice, noodles, canned goods,
sugar, iodized salt, cooking oil, monggo beans and
potable water
Medicines:
Paracetamol, antibiotics, analgesic, oral
rehydration salts, multivitamins and medications to
treat diarrheal diseases
Non-food items: Bath soaps,
face towels, shampoo,
toothbrush, toothpaste, plastic mats, blankets,
mosquito nets, jerry
cans, water containers, water purification tablets,
plastic sheetings,
and Laundry soap
Rehabilitation Programs:
Shelter materials for house
repair
In Manila, there
is a thick coating of mud over everything the flood
submerged
The storm,
known locally as Ondoy, has
left 86 dead and 32 missing. Over 430,000 people
have been affected,
with more than 115,000 of them in evacuation
centres as of 28 September
2009. These figures are expected to rise as search
and rescue efforts
expand.
On asking
around the web sites, I have found that most of the
British Charity Shops and Agencys, will have the
right way to go about sending these items to the
Philippines without them ending up somewhere they
shouldn't be.
