Today America mourn and remember those who lost their lives on September 11, 2001, #911. More determined than ever
“The attacks of September 11th were intended to break our spirit. Instead, we have emerged stronger and more unified. We feel renewed devotion to the principles of political, economic and religious freedom, the rule of law and respect for human life. We are more determined than ever to live our lives in freedom.” —Former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani.

On 9/11 a void was left in our city and hearts. In the wake of the unimaginable, we came together in unity. Today, in that spirit of unity hundreds gathered together on the 9/11 Memorial to honor the nearly 3,000 people killed on 9/11.

Tribute in Light, a symbol of our endurance and a powerful reminder of the strength we found on 9/11 will light up the sky this evening. The 9/11 Memorial will remain open to the public until midnight for a special viewing. https://911memorial.io/2wW95BE

#IEDARelief and young people in America support DACA #HereToStay.

🚨 BREAKING: Texas Attorney General and handful of Right-Wing Republicans have launched a new attack against #DACA!

DACA is still intact and running, but here are the facts:
✅ DACA has existed for five years and has been a life-changing victory for 800,000 young people and their families with thousands more joining every month.
✅ Since 2012, this vital program, won by immigrant youth themselves, is under increasing assault from anti-immigrant extremists.
✅ Trump has said that immigrant youth should rest easy, but our lives and our families are in danger when DACA is continually attacked and threatened and when his agents raid our homes.

Make no mistake, we will continue organizing and fighting to defend, preserve and protect DACA.

There is absolutely no reason why this country should put 800,000 young people, myself included, into the deportation pipeline. This is our home and we are #HereToStay!

A sneak peek into our Playroom provided for our ESL students so they can be motivated to attend and also focus in class 😁 Thanks to our wonderful volunteer Adrian and her mom who's volunteering for today too..😘 BTW, we had a light day today due to the weather....

Cooling off after the Baker Ridley KNOW YOUR RIGHTS Training

The extensive damage caused by typhoon Haiyan increased the vulnerability levels of different affected communities in the region. This created the need to constantly assess and monitor protection needs during the transition and even in the post-disaster phase of the crisis. The Philippine Protection Cluster – Eastern Visayas Coordination Hub have then saw the importance of conducting a needs assessment and monitoring initiative in the Tacloban Hub, covering Eastern Leyte and Western Samar or equivalent to 29 municipalities get a general overview of the protection status in the said areas. However, the pooling of resources for the said needs assessment and monitoring initiative is on voluntary basis. UNHCR, Help Age International, CFSI and IEDA Relief then cooperates each other beyond limited resources with UNHCR mainly providing the logistical supports to realize the project. Coordination role was vested with IEDA Relief with its strategic office location and capacity.

Typhoon Haiyan affected 1,016,467 families or an equivalent of 5,053,838 persons. A total of 219,857 families lost their homes and 420,197 houses were either totally or partially damaged. Several evacuation centers were set up in Tacloban City, Tanauan, Palo, Basey and other municipalities to serve as emergency shelter sites for internally displaced persons (IDPs). Hence, the coordination and management of these evacuation centers became a pressing concern during the post-disaster phase. Trained IEDA Relief camp managers were assigned to the biggest evacuation centers in the city - Tacloban City Astrodome, Rizal Central School, San Fernando Central School and Kapangi-an Central School as well as secondary evacuation centers such as the Leyte Normal University Dormitory Complex, Avon Building, Sto Nino SPED Center, Panalaron Central School. The deployed IEDA Relief camp managers focused on identifying gaps in the management of evacuation centers and augment CCCM efforts by IOM and DSWD. In addition to standard camp management activities, the camp managers also spearheaded protection monitoring activities as well as focused group discussions with IDPs in evacuation camps, creation of WASH committees and conduct of clean up drive activities. Focused group discussions with IDPs on camp management were conducted which provided an opportunity for household leaders to ensure the proper internal organization within the evacuation center.

IEDA Relief Philippines is one of the most recent country programs of the International Emergency and Development Aid (IEDA) Relief Inc. It is our organization’s first presence in Asia and thus represents an important milestone in its history. It demands from IEDA a dramatic significant shift – a change in not only in cultures and languages but in development perspectives. With its Asian presence to its established missions in Africa, Carribean and the United States, IEDA can now practically embrace the world and make real its vision of helping communities become more self-sufficient. Helping build better communities from the ashes and debris left by the devastation caused by typhoon Haiyan is no easy feat. In the face of a natural disaster of such catastrophic magnitude – the strongest tropical cyclone in recorded human history – one cannot but ask how the herculean task of rebuilding lives and communities can began. So much has to be done with limited resources, too many problems for seemingly finite solutions to deal with, so many tasks to be done by so few hands available. With almost ten thousand dead and tens of thousands left homeless and with their means of livelihood damaged, starting all over again – the task of recovery and rehabilitation could take years and the people of the Philippines would need every help to make it happen.

After five months of operation in the Philippines, IEDA Relief Philippines is happy to present this year’s country report. Despite the fact that our country program continues to contend with challenges and limitations, we has made modest accomplishments and contributed significantly to the overall post-disaster and early recovery efforts. Even with limited funding and despite being solely dependent on internal funding sources, we were able to deliver programs and projects that have made significant impact among communities affected by the recent disaster.
