With two major typhoons damaging homes and houses in the last 3 years — Typhoon Haiyan, known as Yolanda by Filipino locals (November 2013) and Typhoon Hagupit (December 2014) — rebuilding in the Philippines has been an ongoing project for CGR project teams and partner organizations. Existing projects on the islands include repairing homes and schools.
The second disaster renewed a sense of urgency for volunteers to participate in the rebuilding process. With locals recovering from both Typhoon Haiyan and Hagupit, two teams of Albertan CGR volunteers spent two weeks in Tacloban rebuilding homes in February 2015. As rebuilding will take time, there are plans to send groups in the future to provide shelter for as many families in need as possible.
