a sum of parts is a big difference

Dear Kabayans,

Maybe many of you have read the article at XPress (http://www.xpress4me.com/articles/09/04/01/20012707.html) regarding the 137 Filipino victims from the 2 recruitment agencies who apparently hired them as drivers for RTA.
It is with great sadness that these Filipinos have only dreamt of greener pasture for their family and they have been victimized.

We are writing on behalf of them and reaching out to all Filipinos who may be able to extend help to our fellow kabayan's who are in need. They are currently staying at a flat in Ajman near a dumpsite, where they collect tin cans from garbage which they sell in order for them to survive the day. We therefore seek for your help by giving them food, water or medicines as this would assist them to continue to fight and survive the painful ordeal they are experiencing.

We would be driving in Ajman on Saturday, 11th April 2009 at 9am, to give whatever donations we have collected. For those who want to join, you may coordinate with the below contact persons a day in advance to arrange transportation. Please note that we only encourage you to donate food and water or medicines. Should you wish to offer cash, this would be use in buying food and water for them.

We believe that during this difficult times, we Filipinos should help each other and share our blessings to the unfortunate ones.

We thank you in advance for your support and donations.

Regards,
Jetrine Agustin
