ADRA Canada commits $30,000 CDN to immediate needs of Typhoon Washi survivors
On Dec 16, 2011, Typhoon Washi made landfall in the eastern parts of Mindanao, Philippines.  In less than 12 hours, rain inundated the region with a month’s worth of accumulation, causing severe flash floods and landslides.

$125
The average amount spent by Canadians (per person) for food,
beverages and candy in December.*
$20
The cost of providing a starving boy or girl in the Horn of Africa
enough food for an entire month.
Who would have thought so little could do so much?
