Sta. Lucia Relief Operations / October 2009
What Doesnt Kill You, Makes You Stronger." Powerful words.For the past two days, it gave a deeper meaning for me. Giving Up, is not an option! If you fall down after all the tragedies that life slaps upon you and live and breathe air to tell about it, you have the power to rise above the ashes and get up, start over, be better and become stronger than ever. What makes this a lot more meaningful is theres someone out there to help. Someone to lift you up, someone who fuels the soul to change and turns things around. In these past two days of helping people, I never seen such drama. No food to eat. No water to drink. No place to sleep. House completely obliterated...but still alive and breathing. I learned when life hits you., it really hits you hard. Battered up, banged down but still alive and fighting. For us people who are fortunate, we are called to do something. We are called to serve. We are called to help our brothers to start over. Im so damn proud to all the people that we may consider heroes in such benevolent efforts to cradle the needs of our fellow people that are badly wounded from the whips of life. There is hope among us. No matter how hard life turns out to be, there is light on the other end of that tunnel. With perseverance, possitive attitude and strong faith, reaching that light is possible. For all the volunteers in helping the victims of typhoon Ondoy, I salute you. These are the images of the devastation of the typhoon Ondoy from Brgy. Sta. Lucia in Fairview Quezon City and the relief efforts to help our brothers in need.
