PIA Team Mindanao to launch ‘tent’ drive for typhoon
victims
BUTUAN CITY, Dec. 5 (PIA) – The Philippine
Information Agency (PIA) Team Mindanao will launch a tent drive dubbed “A Tent
for a Family” for the typhoon victims in the Eastern Visayas.
Mindanao cluster Team Leader and Caraga regional
director Abner Caga said that food, water, medicine and the health of people
affected by the typhoon remain as major priorities, “but based in our
observation when we were there, it is also important to focus on providing them
with temporary shelter.”
“This is, I believe, one the most appropriate
interventions for now since we cannot provide them with hardware materials,
they need at least a tent just to protect them from the cold at night,” Caga
added.
Though it is only temporary, Caga explained that it
is also a very important step to help them begin to rebuild their lives.
Tent donation may be dropped off at PIA Caraga
Regional Office at J. Rosales Avenue, Butuan City or at any PIA regional offices
in Mindanao or they may call (085) 341-5285 for more details. (FEA/PIA-Caraga)
