CRASH PLANS RESPONSE TO TYPHOON HAIYAN WITH CHILD TRAUMA CAMPS

Posted on
Considered as the strongest typhoon to hit the Philippines in many years, Super Typhoon Haiyan (locally known as Yolanda) made six landfalls on 7th of November causing widespread devastation. CRASH Japan is partnering with the Philippine Christian Ministries Network, a commission of the Philippine Council of Evangelical Churches, to hold OperationSAFE child trauma camps in the affected region. These camps will be held once basic needs of food, shelter, medicine and security are met and will help children to process the terrible events they have been through, meet new friends and move toward recovery. 

HOW BAD IS IT REALLY?

  • 13.2 Million People Affected
  • 9 Regions, 44 Provinces, 57 Cities, 574 Municipalities
  • 5.6 Million People Displaced
  • 4,011 Casualties, 18,557 Injuries, 1,602 Missing
  • 846,747 Damaged Homes

THE PHILIPPINE CHILDREN’S MINISTRY NETWORK

Just two days before Typhoon Haiyan struck, we held OperationSAFE child trauma camp training in Manila with the national network of children’s ministries. Over four days we taught them the five themes of children’s trauma recovery and the songs, games, crafts and stories that make it both fun and healing. We also instructed them in emotional and spiritual care for disaster survivors and for those who minister to them. It was a timely seminar and many of these workers are now responding to the immediate needs and preparing for OperationSAFE camps to come.

November 15

This afternoon about 20 people came to establish the Philippine Evangelical Disaster Network, we had a workshop to identify the strength, geographical locations, and resources of each organization in the body. The guiding principle is that, we will work with the local church, we will have open communications for central databasing. Meeting was with top officers of organizations responding to Yolanda crisis, and facilitated by Bishop Efraim Tendero. Philippine Children’s Ministries Network (PCMN) is committed to vigorously work alongside the churches in Samar, responding to needs especially to families and children in extreme situation after a disaster.

【杉並・中野・練馬キリスト者防災ネットワーク】都内で30度を超える午後、久遠キリスト教会を会場に開かれた交流会にサポーターとして参加した。　昨年発足したキリスト者防災ネットワークの今回の交流会には、10以上の教会から30名弱が集った。防災に取り組んでいる二つの教会の事例を聞いた後、グループに分かれ、互いに思い、意見、情報を分かちあった。防災について更に知りたい、教会として準備していきたいという意気込み、積極性が感じられた爽やかな集まりだった。注：杉並、中野、練馬にある加盟教会と団体による防災ネットワークを、三区の頭文字をとりSNNと呼んでいる。＊写真はプログラムと、挨拶をした世話人代表の三浦牧師。2024年9月6日（金）レポート：永井敏夫 ...
