Les aides du gouvernement peinent à arriver sur l'île et les habitants de Siargao (familles, enfants, personnes agées) manquent cruellement de nourriture et d'eau potable après le passage d'un typhon de force 5 qui a littéralement décimé l'île et ses moyens d'approvisionnement (bateaux, ports). Bastien (mon frère) se trouve sur place et monte une expédition pour faire venir des ressources vers l'île (nourriture, eau, outils pour la reconstruction). Toute aide est bonne à prendre !
Chaque euro donné profitera directement aux populations locales. Une liste des dépenses effectuées sera rendue publique régulièrement
A huge typhon devastated the island and local communities (families, children, old people) are left without houses, electricity, food and water. My brother Bastien is there and is organizing an expedition to send food and water to the island. All the help you can bring is more than welcome. Huge thanks !
Each donated euro will directly benefit to local population. A list of expenses will regularly be made public.

Bigger funds, bigger boat !
The help received so far is incredible! Another boat left early this morning and is currently arriving to Siargao, this time much bigger!
With your donations we could load it with :
- 3000 kg of rice
- 1000 cans of sardines
- Several boxes of medical supplies
- My friend Ras Linga making sure that the boat reaches its destination
On top of that, some friends in Butuan who needed a way to reach the island contacted us and drove overnight with a truck to fill it in, the boat is also carrying, destination to Burgos :
- 1000 kg of rice
- 500kg of food
- More boxes of medical supplies
Your donations made this trip possible, keep them coming!!
Weather is getting rough, therefore we can't travel with small boats anymore. I will try to organize at least one boat every 1 or 2 days. When I have enough to fill in a boat, I'll send it away!

First mission was a success !
The boat reached the island without any problem, I got it unloaded with the help of my friends Chris & Nadine, and they will make sure that every bigger boats coming will be dispatched properly with the help of many amazing volunteers who are currently setting up some reception and distribution centers.
Things are starting to move to the right direction but we need to work fast!
Thanks to your donations, the 1000 kilos of rice from the boat & all of its content have been already distributed yesterday to the barangays of Cabitoonan, Libertad, Santa Fe, Santa Cruz, Salvación, Corazón, Mabuhay, Consuelo.
It brought smile to the face of the people, but they need way more to sustain the coming days. Most of them haven't received much help yet, we are at Day 7 post typhoon already.
80 Liters if Diesel has been sent to my friend Donnie and Eddie, with it, they can purify 5000 Liters of drinkable water!
We held a meeting last night with over 50 persons who are willing to help, for the shipment and dispatch of the goods. People are now aware on how to help. The internet is slowly starting to go back on the island but help hasn't reached the remote villages yet.
I'll stay in Cantilan for a while to establish a better logistic network and keep on sending food and medicine to the island in the next coming days. We now have a list of what is exactly needed, the community in the island is doing an amazing job but they need more supplies.
In addition THANKS EVERYBODY FOR YOUR DONATIONS, the amount received is already insane and we can start to think BIG. You have no idea how helpful all of those are.
THERE WILL NEVER BE ENOUGH OF IT AND 100% OF IT WILL REACH SIARGAO ISLAND'S PEOPLE IN NEED
I'm back with some volunteers and we're preparing a huge shipment for tomorrow morning, more info to come.
