A Typhoon in Photos

Wednesday, October 7, 2009 by Sarah Trapp
Typhoon Ketsana landed in the Philippines on September 25th, bringing with it heavy rain that flooded much of Manila and Quezon City.
 
Water reached up to the roof in some areas.
 
People were forced to swim to safety through several feet of water in the streets.
 
Swimming became a necessary mode of transportation.
 
When the water had receded enough to survey the damage, countless families found many of their possessions wet and unusable.

This family found their possessions soaking wet.
 
Children International's community centers were not immune to the destruction.

One of Children International's community centers suffered damage as well.
 
 
Check back Friday to see how Children International's well-organized team is helping to provide relief to our sponsored children, their families and others severely affected by the typhoons.
