Share Your #MessagesofHope for the Victims of Yolanda
by Cheryl Villareal on Nov 13th, 2014
It was all over the news. A huge storm was coming, and the Philippines was in its path. The rest of the world called it Haiyan, we named it Yolanda. We were used to typhoons in the Philippines, but we weren’t ready for one of the strongest and most powerful typhoons on earth. Last Nov. 8, 2013, Yolanda made landfall and struck several parts of the Philippines. One of the most badly hit cities was Tacloban. More than just cars and properties,...Read More » Tags Share Comments (0 )

by Cheryl Villareal on Oct 16th, 2014
