Quote of the week

 

"It was so difficult living in the evacuation centre. Food and water were difficult, and my grandchildren who are still little often got sick. So we decided to return here, but our house is still under water." 

Seventy-two year-old grandmother Jovita Ramos, her two children and four grandchildren were evacuated to a temporary shelter after tropical storm Ketsana, Philippines.
