Although more than 6,500 CCT-assisted families were affected by Typhoon Yolanda, zero deaths were reported by staff in the provinces of Capiz, Iloilo, Leyte, Palawan and Mindoro.
Some 6,585 families in the path of the storm suffered total or partial damage to their homes while among the 65 staff working in the affected towns and cities, 14 suffered totally damaged homes.
Two pastors arrived in Samar on November 15 where they were to meet up with Leyte-based Pastor Ed Gomez and would then proceed to Tacloban to locate community partners about whom CCT still has no news.
A team of three doctors and a nurse is scheduled to leave on Wednesday, November 21, for Tacloban.
CCT is accepting donations for the survivors. Most-needed supplies are food, water, and medicine. Ruth Callanta, CCT president, also noted the practicality of providing solar-powered lamps which can also be used as cell phone chargers.
