Bene 9uiuan and her family live in 'arabut in amar province,
@hilippines " an area hard hit by *yphoon 7aiyan. )hile she
remembers little of the actual typhoon, Bene does recall leaving her
house in disbelief after it had passed. ,amilies lost almost every
possession they owned. 7omes, food, clothing and livelihoods
nothing was spared. ,or three days her family ate waterlogged rice,
rationed out because they didnFt know how long it would have to last.
4ut fear was replaced with hope once relief packages started to arrive.
@resbyterian )orld ervice & 2evelopment has supported the A(*
Alliance in distributing emergency food and non"food items in the
immediate aftermath of the typhoon. GI had hope to live again,H says
Bene, along with a message of thankfulness to those who have made
this relief possible. G*hank you. uper thank youIH
PWS&D responds to bring relief in the midst of disaster
Society says
Look out for yourself
but God says
Look out for others
and
I will look out for you
