Some Typhoon Yolanda-Related Posts in Facebook and Tumblr
10:40 AM
I’d like to take a break from the usual posts that I
do because I just want to share this Typhoon Yolanda-related blog entry for my
readers. If you want to contribute in helping the victims, I hope this post
will be helpful. J
Last November 8 (Friday), supertyphoon “Yolanda”
(International name: Haiyan) made a landfall in Eastern Visayas. The aftermath
of the typhoon was terrible as it devastated almost the whole Visayas Region---with
Samar, Leyte, Tacloban and Cebu getting the most damage. Almost all structures (if not all) were
destroyed, death toll continues to rise with Leyte alone having more than
10,000 estimated deaths, electricity is not back and food and water are very
scarce. Due to this, President Benigno Aquino has declared a national state of
calamity for faster government rescue and action in the provinces devastated by
the world’s strongest typhoon of 2013.
Thus, it was already expected that donations and help will be given to the
victims of Typhoon Yolanda. We have
already seen some organizations and foundations doing their part by helping in
the search and rescue and delivering donations to the victims. But what really
made me overwhelmed and happy was the various actions that a lot of people were
doing to help Visayas. I saw this in social media sites such as Facebook and
Tumblr as well as in various blogs that I visit and being shared in social
media sites. And I want to share these not only to express my happiness in what
they do but so you can also contribute to their causes.
--------------------------------------
FACEBOOK – In just Facebook alone, I saw many of my
friends having their own causes so they can help the victims. I also saw many
people sharing causes from other people. So here are some of them:
One of the first causes I saw is from my cosplay
idol, Jin Joson. Here is what she and her friends plan to do for the typhoon
victims:

After that, I saw many more causes. Images and
their links are posted below and if you are interested to contribute in any of
the causes, just click the link/images.

causes:

--------------------------------------------------
TUMBLR – Another one of the social media sites that is helping the victims is Tumblr. Tumblr itself and other blogs have created donation pools and causes and here are some of them:
 |
| By clicking the sun, you will be directed to a page that contains a list of organizations for your donations. THANK YOU TUMBLR. :3 |
And here are some blogs shared by my friends who
created causes to help the typhoon victims:

There are more in Tumblr---just search “Typhoon Yolanda” or “Typhoon Haiyan”.
So these are just some of the causes I have seen in
Facebook and Tumblr. There are many more than those posted here, but this post
will be very long if I put them all here. I’m sure you have seen a lot of
various causes in your FB walls and Tumblr dashboards---as well as in other
social media sites too. So, don’t hesitate to help the victims of Typhoon
Yolanda because they badly need help now.:( My friends and I are also planning a
donation pool for these victims since Christmas and New Year are near and they
will be having a tough time as they try to rise and continue on with life.
And in advance, I would like to say thank you for all the help you gave and plan to give.
