Typhoon Odette made landfall in the island of Cebu on the night of December 16, 2021 and the sound of the howling wind and crashing debris during the night while we huddled inside our homes will be something that we will not be able to forget easily.
Amidst all the hardship that we are going through now in buying food & water, rebuilding homes and trying to get back to work, we have still been given a reason to smile.
As communications with the #Philippines improves, we are starting to better understand the grave impact left by #TyphoonOdette. With help from @RotaryClub Cebu, our team has been distributing aid to people who need it most, so far helping more than 5,000 people
