180 families want to say “Thank you!”

Fund-raising campaign for typhoon victims in the Philippines. Jesse Sarsalejo, our colleague at Cebu, Philippines, wishes to express sincere thanks on behalf of numerous residents of his hometown Medellin. This city was one of those very badly affected by typhoon Yolanda.

Although large aid organisations could render assistance in the centre of the typhoon, at Leyte, several other regions could not be reached, including Medellin. BMA colleagues, however, wanted to provide immediate help. In the letter from our Philippine colleague you can read how this impulsive idea developed.

Without Jesse Sarsalejo and his family, our donations would never have reached this region. We therefore say also huge thanks for his dedicated assistance!
