We were made aware of the recent flashfloods in Cagayan De Oro through the news broadcast. It has shown how the heavy rains and overflowing river affected around 80% of the barangays displacing a large number of people in evacuation centers.
Now, an impending food shortage, if not yet, is looming as warned by the local city government. In light of this, the Cagayan de Oro City Bloggers Group led by Chiq Montes intend to help through their Feeding Program Project.
An appeal for some assitance was made yesterday through an online community called Plurk saying
"$3 paypal for CDOCITY Flood Victims. Send it to jamgfx@gmail.com...Thanks!"I personally know Chiq so you can be rest assured of the authenthicity of this endeavor.
They shall be using the money to purchase rice and noodles to be distributed over the weekend. If you are interested in helping out in this project, donations are accepted through Paypal. Please send them to jamgfx@gmail.com.PICTURES:
