I think Used clothes will not that beneficial for the victims any more because we (me and my officemates in Going Straight Salon) volunteered for the repacking of relief goods almost of 80% of what we have repacked is already used clothes. Like Ms. Sol Moreno (one of the officers in GMAKF) said, “Monetary contribution is still the best way to help the Typhoon Sendong Victims. Aside from it has no additional cost in logistics, they can be easily manage on what the typhoon victims really need.” According to their Facebook Fan Page, GMAKF has already provided relief assistance to a total of 54,940 individuals (13,735 families) in Northern Mindanao and Dumaguete. They have deployed a total of 72M pesos worth of Monetary and In-kind donation.
