Shelly and I helped out in San Antonio on Saturday afternoon, details on where and how to contact them are below. I helped out in Balai under Operation Tulong Bayan (OTB) earlier today, details below as well.
We'd prefer to help out more, but we only have two free days in a week to do volunteer work because for the other 5 days, school naturally comes first.
When we were little, we helped relief operations in Ondoy and Milenyo and never forgot. But now that we're older, we realize that devastation has been a yearly occurrence in the Philippines and has not been slowing down. This saddens us, but since we can't control mother nature, the most we can do is help out.
The following information compiled below hopes people will get up, out and packing:

The next few pictures are of the relief work in Balai Cubao earlier today.
The pictures are nothing spectacular, and all point-and-shoot blurry iphone pics because I had to get back to work.

Sitting on your tushes complaining isn't going to do anything.
Get to work, people!
Hope this post helped give you some ideas on where to give a hand :)
