MADRID, Spain. The Teresian Association (TA) is united with the people of the Philippines who are suffering the consequences of the terrible typhoon Yolanda that ripped several provinces, causing over ten thousand deaths and affecting hundreds of thousands.
Maite Uribe, President of the TA, and the Governing Council have sent a message to the members and friends of the Teresian Association in that country: "Given the huge disaster in the Philippines after typhoon Yolanda, the President and the Governing Council meeting in Los Negrales feel in mind and heart the deep pain of the Filipino people. Here, in this special place for us, count on our prayers. "The Governing Council is in contact with the sector director of the Philippines, Amalia Ledesma, and others to learn first hand about the situation of members of the Association, relatives, acquaintances, and the country after the disaster. They invite the entire Association to join in the prayer of Pope Francisco: “I ask all of you to join me in prayer for the typhoon victims, especially those in the beloved Philippines. "They also express the commitment of the Teresian Association "to make a financial contribution to help relieve the pain and to attend to the needs caused by this situation."Unfortunately, the information received confirms the bleak panorama of several cities and towns devastated after typhoon. The President of the Philippines has declared a "state of national disaster." NGO InteRed, which is linked to the Teresian Association, is organizing an emergency response.
