The province of Capiz in the Philippines has suffered tremendous damage and casualties from the Supertyphoon Haiyan/Yolanda. However, the victims of this region have largely gone unnoticed by the media. Large organizations have pledged help and supplies, but people are homeless and starving NOW and may succumb to hunger or illness if much more immediate relief is not given.
Heart of Capiz is an effort started by the people of Panay, the island of the province Capiz, to give the most immediate aid to those most in need. Moving goods, people, and manpower from the island itself is faster and more efficient than waiting for aid teams and shipments from elsewhere.
"Heart of Capiz is all about generosity. Of knowing that no amount or no work is too small at this time of need. We encourage everyone to please help spread positive vibes and to please alway remember that people on the ground are not super humans. Our government, no matter how imperfect and found lacking, is really doing its best to address the magnitude of this calamity. There is a proper time for everything, including politics. Pause and think before you click that link that sends a negative vibe to the universe. Be thankful that you are alive and in the comfort of your room or desk and is reading this message. Let us be ONE as a FILIPINO. Bayanihan muna bago sarili."
