[Overseas] Emergency relief from the Tondo garbage village fire in the…

Overseas 2024. 03. 25 17:15








 

  • The people of Garbage Village who lost everything in an instant.
    At 11 p.m. on March 21, a large fire broke out in Aroma Village, Manila, Philippines, well-known as the world's poorest garbage village. The flames quickly spread through the shacks, eventually destroying four residential buildings. The 3,000 people in Garbage Village, who lived together as a family in small rooms no larger than one pyeong, suddenly lost their homes and were forced to sit on the streets.
    The damaged site, which is currently completely burned down, is full of the noise of hammers pounding and the shouts of workers. The purpose is to cut scrap metal from the broken wreckage and sell it. In order to avoid starving, you have no choice but to destroy what was your home with your own hands. Tondo Garbage Village, where streets were full of filth and garbage, where adults and children alike made their living by separating waste and living off of items and food from garbage piles. Even at this hour, the children are once again collecting trash amid the acrid smoke and holding on to the charred thread of hope.
  • We provide emergency relief to Tondo village, which is in desperate need of help.
    Although the government provided shelters, the places were worse than we could imagine. It was natural that the heat was so hot, and since two or as many as four families were assigned to a four-person tent, people said they would rather go out on the street and sleep in a corner. Because there were no proper bathrooms, the area around the tent was filled with the smell of urine, making my nose hurt, and the children were spending their time sitting on the streets, clutching their hungry stomachs, with black paint everywhere.
    “This place is hell. I don’t know how long this life will continue, so I feel at a loss…”
    The World Educational Cultural Aid immediately dispatched an emergency rescue team to the scene after hearing the news of the fire. While covering the scene, we investigated the relief supplies desperately needed by the victims, and thanks to this, we were able to quickly deliver relief supplies to those in need through cooperation with local government offices.
  • Please bring hope to the trash village turned to ashes.
    What the victims need most now are blankets and clothes to cover, and food to fill their stomachs right away. As soon as the fire started, the residents immediately fled the house with their children, but there was nothing they could take with them. This is because fires spread faster in Garbage Village than anywhere else. Fortunately, he survived, but the fire engulfed everything, leaving no trace except for the clothes he was wearing, which were soaked in sweat and stained with black ash.
    The funds you have raised will be used to deliver emergency relief supplies to 700 households and a total of 3,000 people affected by Tondo Garbage Village. They cannot survive without help from those around them. Happy Bean sponsors, please bring hope to this trash village covered in black ash. The World Educational Cultural Aid will do its best to provide support to the victims of Tondo Garbage Village in the Philippines so that they can regain their lives.
