Event 1 Typhoon Relief Benefit Show

On November 22nd, I went to the Typhoon Relief Benefit show which located in Covel Commons. It was held by the Pilipinao Community in UCLA to rase some donations for the philippines who suffers from the typhoon. This is not actually an art related event but this is truly the most impressive event i have attended in this quarter.

The Typhoon Haiyan, which is known as Typhoon Yolanda in the philippines, is a very strong cyclone devastated southeast asia in early November. My mother showed me how bad that is and that totally makes me think of the earthquake in Wenchuan, Si Chuan, China. That is the only time that i can literally feel the natural disaster by my own. The date is May 21st and i will never forget that at that time, the extremely huge shake of the building almost make me think that we are in the center of the earthquake. When I realize that we are not even very close to the center of the earthquake, I really start to worry about the people in Si Chuan.

Since i have volunteered in that area in China, I can totally imagine what philippine people are going under right now. The promo that they played during the event makes me feel more about it. I really want to go there and try my best to help them right now. I actually feel bad because donation is the only thing i could do for them.
