• Packed meals (e.g. canned goods, rice, etc.)

• Clothing

• Drinking water

Bundles of Hope

In recent years, Philippines has been a country prone to natural disasters. However, Filipinos are known for their resiliency as everyone tries to rise above all challenges and works together as one community. That is why, it is not a surprise that this attitude and lifestyle can already be seen from the youth in the country. Students from the University of Cebu (Philippine Junior Jaycees, Inc.) has taken the lead to gather resources as much as they can to help fire victims of Brgy. Suba.

Here at Airfunding, we are calling for our global community to help by sending donations for this group of students to be able to provide the needs of evacuees in Cebu.

To the people of Cebu, hope is on the way!
