Call for Action: Please help the people affected by typhoon Haiyan in the Philippines

As you all have heard, the Philippines have been hit hard by the recent super typhoon Haiyan. Large parts of Samar and Leyte have been completely leveled, leaving thousands of people cut off from food supplies, fresh water and medical supplies. A lot of people have died already and more will do so if we just stay passive now. People are in desperate need of help – your help.
I have traveled the affected areas intensively with my two friends Chris and Dolph earlier this year. We will always remember the beauty of the country and the hospitality and warmth of their people. We have traveled through Tacloban, a city which has almost completely destroyed. We have made many friends and following the current flow of their updates on Facebook is heartbreaking. It hurts to see the country in such an agony and struggling to get back on their feet. This is the time to stand together as global citizens and act. Please join me and contribute to the ongoing relief efforts of the international community.If you are from overseas, the easiest and best is to make a financial donation to organizations such as the Red Cross or UNICEF. Check out their website – most of them have set up forms which make it super easy to donate. Every single contribution helps. Here are some links I collected:

American Red Cross Donation Form
Deutsches Rotes Kreuz Taifunhilfe
Red Cross Philippines Appeal
UNICEF donation appeal
Huffington Post Article on How to Help 
NBC Worldnews on How to Help

Please help, even it is only a couple of Dollars or Euros. Also spread the word to friends and families. Share it on Facebook and your other Social Media. It can make a difference. Let’s help the great people of the Philippines to get back on their feet. I know they would do the same for us. This is the time for action.

Thanks everyone of you! One World!
