Praying for the Philippines

Super Typhoon Haiyan/ Typhoon Yolanda has claimed the lives of over 10,000 people in the Philippines, and is continuing to make its way through China and Vietnam, claiming even more lives and leaving a path of destruction and millions of dollars worth of damages.

We are sending our positive thoughts and prayers to our Sisters nationwide who have been directly affected and/or have loved ones in Asia who have been affected by this typhoon.

Although there are many who survived this disaster, these people have lost everything they have, including their homes and families. Below is a small list of the many organizations that you can donate to in order to help these survivors.

As an Asian American Interest sorority, we want to show our support in the effort to help the Philippines. Whether it's raising funds or even building awareness in order to help the survivors, every little bit helps. If you would like to participate, here are a few organizations in which do so:

Remembering Our Sisters

In the month of November, the National Board of Alpha Phi Gamma agreed that it was necessary to create a life-long legacy of our sisters who have left us too soon. Every day we are reminded of how lucky we are to have what we have and how grateful we are for one another. Without the people we have met in our lives, we would not be the person we are today. These sisters touched many lives and had a hand in creating who we are today: Miss Aileen Primero, Miss Janice Arabe and Miss Kristie Chau. Our thoughts are always with their families and we hope that our dear sisters are watching over us. As a symbol for everything that they have done and their impact on us all, National Board has dedicated planting three trees as a memorial. These trees will be planted in the Shasta-Trinity forest in California to help rejuvenate the area after the 2008 fire. It is only a small gesture for everything that these sisters have done. The cards and other remembrance items will be available for viewing at the Denver conference.
