How lucky are we?
With the weather improving I would like people to understand the hell those in America and The Philippines plus now Honk Kong and China are struggling through.
My wife's family are in direct path of Typhoons every season in The Philippines at the Cagayan Valley area etc in the northern part of the country. This is the worst storm they have had in 20 years doing a lot more damage and my partner won't be in direct contact with them for a month or so until the power lines get fixed. Now understand they are just one family where millions in a country of 104 million people are all suffering so badly. Lets put our thoughts to their well being so the mental energy can at least help them a bit.
