#RebuildPh Launch

Last year, I wrote about Habitat For Humanity's call to rebuild the places affected by Typhoon Yolanda. The project launch was initiated by Coca Cola Phils.January 30 at Araneta Coliseum grounds with an entertaining program and booths to gather volunteer contact information and to keep people aware about the campaign.

Besides Habitat, the Phil. Red Cross also have blood letting campaign for those who are qualified to donate. The launch is just the beginning. The second step is what are you going to do. You can either help donate your resources to sponsor houses, or donate supplies, tools or anything that is needed for the campaign or organize fund drives or volunteer your time or you can do all of the above.

As I mentioned in my previous post about the campaign, we need more Nehemiahs to campaign for this. It is up to you if you are going to help or just watch there as the caravan passes by. Let us rise up and rebuild. For more updates about the campaign, follow this blog or like the L.E.N.S. blogs on Facebook.

Rise Up and Rebuild

The world is affected by what happened to those ravaged by the storm Yolanda and the earthquake victims and everyone is doing their part to help whether big or small. The world may not be the same again after what happened.

Although giving relief is OK but it is not enough to make their lives back to normal. They not only need food but the other basic needs. One of those basic need is a home. Coca Cola Phils. in collaboration with Habitat for Humanity Phils. are starting up an plan to make it happen.

But Coca Cola and Habitat can't do it on their own. They also need supplies and volunteers. This is where you come in. You can do your part either donating or volunteer. The houses needs sponsors for the affected families. You can donate money for supplies or sponsor the whole house.

You can also volunteer and work along the victims to build their house. You can also do both. Watch the video above. I am seeing this now in a biblical sense. I recall the account of Nehemiah during the exile when he felt the urge to return to Jerusalem and rebuild the walls. His powerful words were
"Let's rise up and build".

I am seeing this in that same manner and I am sure that there's a call to rebuild their homes. It's either you be part of history or just sit there and watch. For more updates, follow this blog or like the Facebook page and spread the word. #RebuildPh
