A Home In Haiti: In just a few days, it will begin to rain regularly in Haiti. Could you imagine living outside, permanently, in the rain, with nothing but cloth sheets held up by sticks to protect you? Currently, this is set to be the very harsh reality for over 700,000 Haitian men, women, and children who still have nothing to protect them from the elements. When you purchase *waterproof tents or donate cash directly, it will provide an immediate home in Haiti for people that so desperately need it. These tents are Phase 1 of our long-term project, but are not debatable or optional.
*i just purchased a tent for three people. i have lived in the same apartment for four years and no matter what kind of day i have - when i walk through the front door - the feeling of home is appreciated. everything feels a little bit better. i can’t imagine what life would feel like if something took my home without warning! vulnerable.
lomomanila is being invited to have an exhibit in Meralco Theater on February 13,2010. Theme is on LOVE. Start preparing your photos.

An open hand signifies an open heart. Remember when you were a kid? And your mom would hold your hand when you were scared. Or when you hold the hand of your loved one, to assure them that you’re there. Holding anothers’ hand is a sign of comfort and relief.
The Philippines is in shock and grief due to Ondoy. Please help us.
If you can, please donate to the Philippine Red Cross at www.redcross.org.ph/ or via our Chipin page at lomomanila.chipin.com/lomoaid

I met this kid at the Marikina Riverbanks a year ago during a photo walk with friends. When I lent him my camera, he listened to my every instruction and handled it with utmost care. He said “thank you” every time and even saw us back to the other side of the river.
I don’t know if he, his family and friends at the shanties/eateries by the river survived Ondoy. But I wish he and many other children affected by the tragedy still have decent lives ahead of them. We can help.
Send your support to Typhoon Ketsana (Ondoy) victims in the Philippines through the Philippine National Red Cross www.redcross.org.ph/ or via Lomomanila’s ChipIn site here.
Lend out a helping hand. Help rebuild the future.
