Want to donate some good to victims of tropical storm Ondoy but don’t know where to go? If you have internet, maybe this will help.
Found out about this via Jayvee’s blog. The Typhoon Ondoy Mapping Team have started tagging areas on Google Maps where donation centers can be found, and where help is still greatly needed.
If you know of any additional areas that need to be tagged, you can send your updates here. Likewise, there’s also an online spreedsheet available of all the donation centers in the Philippines that needs updating as well.
I know this is very little as compared to what really needs to be done, but this is the least we can do to help out in the effort to help our fellow countrymen and brethren. Do your share by keeping everyone informed of the latest updates.
