Sisters and friends help typhoon victims

Good Shepherd Sisters and friends respond to the needs of typhoon victims whose homes and other belongings were destroyed during the recent typhoon Ondoy that hit various cities and provinces in the Philippines last Saturday, September 26. 

Continuous rains that started September 25 and continued the next day were said to have poured what could have been a month’s rain in just six hours. Heavy rains caused by Typhoon Ondoy triggered floods and swelling of rivers that made roads impassable and kept people stranded for hours.
