Just last week the first shipment of All-Lights reached Ormoc City to aid recovery. A volunteer in the Philippines observed, “The typhoon took away a lot. But it also revealed faulty infrastructure. This is an amazing chance to rebuild to last.”
You can still donate to recovery efforts through All-Lights.
