Rob and Sonia Leighton hasn't added a story.
A year after typhoon Yolanda ravaged the Philippines Nov. 2013 Only 450 homes have been built for displaced families so far despite the hefty $1.15-billion allocated by the government for recovery work.
Al Jazeera's Ortigas also reported that as many as 15,000 people are still left homeless in Tacloban City alone.
The Phililppines get on an average 20 Typhoons per year and about 5 of which are "Super Typhoons" like Yolanda was.
It is impossible to keep up with this kind of disaster happening every year. Most destroyed areas that are not easy to get to do not even make it to the news. The local people just deal with it themselves without any resources.
Isla Aid was founded because of the need for disaster relief from typhoons in the Philippine island communities that are hard to reach. Through our schooner, (The "Megan D") we will be able to reach those in need.
Our vision at Isla Aid is to help rebuild communities, provide a place for orphans and build schools for the children.
There are thousands of children that do not have basic needs, homeless and orphaned.
The schooner will have tools for construction, medical and school supplies and first aid for victims.
Here is a list of things we need to get her afloat and sailing.

2. Wood for interior finishing $1,000.00
