PHILLIPINES.

Typhoon Haiyan struck the Philippines in November 2013, leaving widespread devastation in its wake. In response, we mobilized efforts to secure $210,000 worth of antibiotics and other essential medicines. Additionally, we facilitated the shipment of ten 45-foot sea containers filled with powdered baby formula and clean water, along with two containers carrying critical medical hardware.

Beyond medical aid, we distributed 300 soccer balls from One World Play Project to ChildFund International and provided 1,000 solar-powered lights to shelter camps established in the immediate aftermath.

Rock-It Cargo played a key role in delivering five pallets of antibiotics via air freight to Bethany Hospital in Tacloban City. Thanks to this support, Bethany Hospital conducted a two-day medical mission in Southern Leyte, reaching ten barangays (villages or wards) with the aid of equipment and supplies from Project C.U.R.E.

A heartfelt thank you to APR Energy, Air Link, Project C.U.R.E., and Rock-It Cargo for their invaluable contributions. We also extend our gratitude to the many Minnesota-based medical and pharmaceutical professionals, as well as the hospital workers' union in New York, for their crucial role in accessing and coordinating medicine distribution. Without their dedication, this mission would not have been possible.
