The Village Of Concepcion, post-typhoon destruction and appeal

by Ewcyna

According to our drive can be adjusted Watches said Zocha. If it is noon and the heat is at its most that inevitably means we are on bikes!

Indeed, true. The whole morning spent trying to figure out, what to do next and how to leave this island and when. Future and current travellers, take my advice – avoid the period Christmas and new year's! It's an horror. Tickets to all sold out. Wydostałyśmy happy with Manila after only, to find out, that most likely will have to go back. Well, Maybe there was still an option to travel to the island of Palawan, but I was not really tempted by this idea, because from there it's just a plane.
I decided I wanted a country on the islands, I have what I wanted.

After spending two nights on the porch in the end we had to move on bicycles. The road on the island leads in one direction. In the heat of the brain we almost melted, but managed to reach the village of Concepcion, where he found a piece of land on the coast in a pretty nice resort, where yet we could put our tents. Three days spent in the village befriending the guardian named Val and his white cat, which sępił of us eating hooking paw and staring at us innocent sweet eyes błękitnoniebieskie. Last evening Val invited us to a local event, which was.. dinner with his friends on the first anniversary… the death of their daughter. She Had 4 years. Parents are Christians, as we are, and, as we have different habits.

Along the way, and on-the-spot yet we could see the destruction, which has about two months ago typhoon Yolanda. Trees in most lie broken, houses.. hard to say, because here in the majority of houses are like bungalows and sometimes barely keep together.. Just leaving the island met inhabitant of the village, a young man, who rides where he can try to get help for the residents of the affected area. Showed me photos, letters that he sends.. This begs the question-what about Government help, by organizations such as the Red Cross? I do not know how much to believe it, but once again I hear about a huge corruption Philippine officials. Apparently giving away help at selected locations and selected people sometimes.. Certainly the center of attention is the city of Tacloban, and the small island of nothing apparently does not reach.

Roy, because it is his name, did not hide his hope in this, and that of my friends will be people, who will be able to help by donating anything to the inhabitants of the island of Busuanga. In the village of Concepcion school went with the wind, and young people are taught under a tarpaulin hung on trees. Today I received the email with photos of damage. I do not feel very empowered, but let me pass this appeal from Roy to you.. if anyone wants to give them a small amount of money, please contact me. Here, there's really almost nothing left.
