The SUPERSCALE team would like to say a huge THANK YOU to everyone who supported our ‘Bayanihan Pins’ fund raising project.  On November 28, we launched the project after a week of swift and intense planning in light of the Typhoon Haiyan disaster in the Philippines and with your help we were able to raise AUD$700 equivalent to nearly ₱28000 donated to RED CROSS AUSTRALIA!

To give you an idea of what this small donation can do, we compiled this small list from the various charity organisations:

 UNICEF

• Can provide a basic family water kit for 50 families containing water purification tablets, soaps and buckets OR
• Can provide 53 heavy duty tarpaulin sets to shelter children who have lost their homes

CARE Australia

• Can provide food and shelter packages for 10 families AND
• Can provide materials for 9 emergency shelters

 OXFAM

• Provide clean, safe drinking water for 12 families, by building or repairing water sources AND
• Enough to provide a toilet for 52 people

We would like to extend our very special thank you to the people who have donated, bought and downloaded the pins.  Also, thank you to everyone who have simply shared and liked our posts to help spread the word – every like counts.

The project won’t stop here.  It will always be open and every dollar it raises will go back to aid the Philippines.  In the future, we hope to do similar projects for other organisations.

Merry Christmas and Mabuhay!
