MORE WAYS TO HELP GUIMARAS!
August 24, 2006i am reposting this from BUNNYLETTE'S site
Hi Friends,
I guess by now you have heard of the oil spill which occurred a few weeks back along Guimaras island. With 2 million liters of oil spillage each day leaking out to destroy what is left of our natural resources, recent reports say it is the worst natural disaster our country is facing. We hope to encourage fellow filipinos to help out in the cause of preventing its spillage to reach further waters, and as much as possible, clean up the damage done.
With the threat to our natural resources, a group of concerned individuals called the Visayan Sea Squadron have started voulunteer work to help out fishermen, residents and fellow ilonggos who have been badly affected. Atty. Antonio Oposa, a lawyer specializing on environmental law, is currently heading the organization. It is for this cause that i am coordinating with them to create this donation drive. In lieu of cash, we are readily accepting donations of fishing rubber boots, rubber gloves and masks for the volunteers and fisherfolk who are, as i type, working to clean up the damage, with no thought of their health. They go through the muck in sandals and slippers, with not even a mask to protect their lungs.
Each week we will be sending over the accumulated donations to Iloilo to be distributed. For those in the QC area, please send over donations to 12 Highland drive Blueridge A, Katipunan Q.C. within the week. We send donations by Sunday each week. Please contact the number below if you want to have your donations picked up instead. 
Cash is also a good alternative, for those who shall donate this, we will be buying the much needed materials for you, and put the donation under your name. Please contact me on where to channel the cash donations if ever, since we don't have an account up yet. You can also send it in through the address given.
Please attach with your donations your name and contact number so we can update you on the progress (we cannot pay you for your help, but we can at least thank you through media releases of Visayan Sea Squadron). We are also in the process of setting up donation areas where you can drop off your donations*.
