The Hunter Filipino community is coming to terms with the loss of thousands of lives.
Today a ceremony was held to pray for friends and family affected by the disaster.
“I got an email from my sister from the Phillipines and found out only yesterday that the roof of our house was blown away.”
A fundraiser will be held in Newcastle later this month.

Filipinos all over the world are comingbto terms with the recent tragedy brought by the super typhoon, HAIAN. In moments of despair, we all turned to prayers. This not only strengthen our resolve, but alsogive us hope .

In return , we thank the Australian people and its government for your generosity in our time of need.
On behalf of my country, WE SALUTE YOU ALL!!! THANK YOU FOR YOUR GENEROSITY!!!
