Day 2: Team is heading towards Palawan
2013-11-27
On the first day of our mission “Save animals, help people”, the FOUR PAWS emergency rescue team had some important meetings with ambassadors in Manila, as well as with government representatives and local animal welfare organisations. During various discussions, we attempted to get an overview of where help was needed the most. While the disaster is huge and help is needed almost everywhere, we decided that our first mission will lead us to the island of Palawan – and that’s where our team is heading to now.
Palawan was strongly affected by the typhoon, but there are no first aid teams there as yet. The town of Coron has been badly hit, and there’s an increasing concern over the impact on hundreds of farm animals. But once we have a clearer picture, we will send you a more detailed report which will include full coverage!
