Kevin comes back to Santa Fe
Big Kev just arrived back here a few days ago, and we both went to see Mama Helen and the Family (a BIG thank you to Kev for donating 25KG. of rice to the Family)
Kev outside Mama Helen's house yesterday, shooting in the storm.

The Family rebuilt some of their squatters shack from wood, bamboo & plywood scavenged from the rubble of the June 2008 Typhoon, and has hung some tarp just outside the main rooms to stay dry, as we're currently in the middle of Tropical Depression AURING here on the Island.
It was so good to see all the Family; I've missed them much.

I sat down with Cris to translate her conversation with Mama Helen that outlined all they went through during and after the storm; Mama Helen was sad and at times angry at recounting all that happened, as she said the Family received next to no assistance or rice, which was supposed to be given out to residents in need.
The Family is still very much in need of food, rice, and building materials for ongoing repairs; if anyone reading would like to help, please contact me asap.
More on this later,
