Flash Floods Play Havoc in Philippines
Humanity First Responds to Assist the Disaster Victims
Typhoon Washi and flash floods have affected the Northern Mindanao Province of the Philippines which is not the usual path of typhoon in this country. This typhoon is considered the most devastating typhoon to hit the country this year. The residents of the area are unaccustomed to cyclones which has further complicated the situation.
Over 650 people have been reported dead and more than 800 persons are missing. About 100,000 persons are affected with this water disaster.
Humanity First volunteers will be helping in the affected areas as well as at the temporary shelters located at schools and government buildings. The volunteers will be distributing food, water and other emergency supplies to the victims.
Humanity First is appealing to its supporters to contribute to the cause and help Humanity First help suffering humanity.
Please DONATE generously to save HUMANITY.

East Africa Drought Relief
Humanity in Need of Water and Food - Please Donate
The situation in North East Africa continues to deteriorate. Drought and Famine in various parts of the region covering Somalia, Ethiopia, Djibouti and Kenya has displaced millions of people including 25% of the population of Somalia. Lack of rains, failed harvests and large-scale deaths of livestock has made the situation worse.
Hundreds of thousands are living in temporary camps where food and water are available, but the lack of hygiene and sanitation is leading to outbreaks of measles and other disease to exacerbate the appalling effects of acute malnutrition on a weakened population. Children and the elderly are most at risk, with an estimate of over 13 million affected.
So far, in total, Humanity First has assisted 89,000 people by providing Food, Medical Aid and Water.
Humanity First is planning further convoys to Nakurur, Bura and Coastal in the next 2 months. We are in discussions on joint water projects in the north with Save the Children, and also have liaison with the UN in Nairobi.
Our longer term plans are well underway, with sites being assessed for a vocational training centre, agricultural pilot and further water wells. Humanity First has also committed to a “Knowledge for Life” program providing resources to schools. The first project is Wagadud Primary School where we will repair the roof and provide benches and tables for the 70 children who currently sit on the floor and have to share classrooms.

Slave Lake Diaster
On May 15, 2011, fast moving wildfire caused devastation in the northern Alberta community of Slave Lake. The damage was catastrophic. Hundreds of home, churches and businesses were destroyed. The power was out and about 7000 people were forced to evacuate their homes on 20 minute notice. Southern eastern part of the town had the biggest damage where over half the homes were consumed by flames
A group of volunteers went to Emergency Relief Services Edmonton on May 28th to help sort the goods received as donation. The team helped Emergency Relief Services Edmonton sort and organize donation goods.
Humanity First in cooperation with Slave Lake Community Services divided into two groups and went from door to door offering help and assisted in the cleanup and rehabilitation.

Japan Earthquake and Tsunami - Donate Generously
HF Relief Camp in Japan continues to Help in Dangerous Conditions
On March 11 Tsunami spawned by one of the largest earthquakes ever recorded slammed Japan’s eastern coast Friday, sweeping away people, cars and homes while widespread fires burned out of control.
Humanity First Response
Humanity First continues its relief efforts from its camp in Ishinomaki from Minato Shogako Evacuation Centre with a team of 8 aid workers supported by local volunteers and local authorities. Our team is continuously serving hot meals and emergency supplies on a daily basis to more than 1000 refugees at the Ishinomaki camp, which is located just beside the Red Cross hospital.
Humanity First team is also receiving support and cooperation from the army operating in that area and has provided the supply of rice and drinking water to Humanity First camp.
Humanity First plans to continue the relief work for at least three more months as it is believed that the rebuilding phase will take that long to start. Therefore, please donate generously for us to sustain the relief efforts until needed!
