Typhoon Devastation, Rescue and
Rehabilitation Efforts
at Little Kibungan, Puguis, La Trinidad, Benguet. |
| The following are pictures downloaded from the
internet depicting rescue efforts in Little Kibungan, Puguis, La
Trinidad, Benguet Province, in the aftermath of typhoon
Parma [locally known as
typhoon Peping] which hit the Philippines last October 2009.
Many
congregation members of Holy Guardian Angels
in Pico, La Trinidad, the Episcopal Church nearest the Little Kibungan
village, were involved in the rescue, shelter and/or rehabilitation efforts
for typhoon victims. Holy Guardian Angels was the last assignment of the
Very Rev. Dario Palasi in the Philippines, before he immigrated to the
USA so he knows most of the congregation members of that church.
Whatever donations by the congregation of St. John's Episcopal Church,
Flushing, New York was channeled through the vestry members of
Holy Guardian Angels. |
