BY: ANA-LIZA S. MACATANGAY

NAGA CITY, Nov.14 (PIA) ---The Philippine Red Cross (PRC) Camarines Sur chapter echoed its call for donors for its fund raising campaign to aid the victims of typhoon Yolanda in the Visayas.

On Tuesday, the Red Cross Camarines SUr chapter led an 11-vehicle convoy carrying relief goods and humanitarian workers going to Samar and Leyte provinces to help communities devastated by typhoon Yolanda that rendered families homeless and with no provision of foods and shelter.

PRC Camarines Sur chapter administrator Nanette Rodrigazo said that the organization has since Monday been accepting cash and in kind donations at their provincial headquarters in Panganiban Drive, Naga City just beside ABS CBN complex for the campaign.

“Red Cross Youth volunteers were mobilized to solicit cash donations through our Signature for a Cause campaign, that will call on offices and business establishments  for their assistance. All donations and cash will be properly acknowledged with a Red Cross official receipt while donations in kind will be provided with acknowledgment receipt,” Rodrigazo said in an interview.

The Red Cross is involved not only in providing blood and rendering assistance in disaster-related activities and short-term palliatives but it also focuses in extending humanitarian services to vulnerable communities.

“At this time of great need of our unfortunate countrymen, let us all join hands and show them our compassionate spirit and humanitarian concern that we Bicolanos can be proud of,” Rodrigazo added.

Rodrigazo also announced that the Red Cross also offers and will gladly assist anyone who needs 'tracing services' for those families who want to know the whereabouts of their relatives who are still missing up to this time.

Donors may give their donation or visit for inquiries the PRC Camarines Sur at Panganiban Drive or they may call at telephone number (054) 473943I and look for Ms. Cyril Llamado or Ms. Emily Vida.  Red Cross can also personally pick up donations if requested.  (MAL/LSM-PIA5/Camarines Sur)
