Ondoy

If you haven't heard yet, a tropical storm, Ondoy, moved over the Philippines yesterday. It really affected Metro Manila badly. We were safe, warm and dry in our lovely apartment, but many many others were not. We especially thought of our classmates and the people we've been visiting in the informal settlement (squatter) areas who are not so unaffected. More than 50 people have died as a result of the storm and flooding. Thousands of families are living in the communities pictured below, and life is precarious for these people on the best of days, but yesterday... I can't even imagine. Please pray for them.
