Thanksgiving

Philippines :  We the sisters , here in Guimaras island that form part of the of the Visayas  had also our stories to recount of how scary was the typhoon Yolanda was. the aftermath of the Yolanda left us without our Indian tree standing , our garden cottage broken and 1 day no current  and cellphone signal.  Our neighboring communities felt even more the long  days of no electric power . Our school personnel had their stories to tell on  having stayed for a night in the evacuation center and when home the following day with their houses a bit in disaster situation. but no serious report of death or accidents from the school personnel  and from  pupils. We continue our  regular school day and urge the pupils to pray hard for the  many losses of lives and the horrible disaster the typhoon had left.  We strive to get help from the parents of the pupils  for whatever donations they can share for the victims . We hope we can get a generous response for this cause ,  as there are so many people  around the globe and just even within the country trying to find means and ways , big or small , to extend help... so must we.  Thank you sisters for your prayers , for those who gave us a call to checked on our safety , for those who sent their messages through the mobile, for your emails a big thanks. We apreciated  it so much . May the Lord have mercy on us in this hard time in the history of the Philippines.
