AmCham Foundation says 'Thank you'

Just recently, the Philippines experienced how Typhoon Ondoy had taken about 246 lives, some still missing; leaving many families homeless and some people injured. We understand the pain of losing a loved ones, of being homeless and of getting injured. In this time of calamity, individual and corporate companies unite together to contribute to the victims. Earlier this week, AmCham Foundation appealed to the members of the American Chamber of Commerce of the Philippines to donate either in cash/check or in-kind. Others have expressed to give their time and services. The effort and willingness to give of these individuals and corporations are being appreciated and AmCham Foundation would like to thank everyone that has given their share of contribution. In the earlier post, some of the AmCham members were already mentioned and as a continuation, we would like to special mention also the following: HOWARD FRANKMAN & JOHN SINCAK (former AmCham member who are now in the US), EDWIN FEIST of ABBOTT LABORATORIES, JEFF GILL, QUEZON POWER (PHILIPPINES)LIMITED CO., SERGE E. GRYNKEWICH II, GREG REICHOW, NUSKIN INTERNATIONAL, INTERNATIONAL FLAVORS & FRAGNANCES, INC.,and COVANTA PHILIPPINES OPERATING, INC.

We still encourage everyone to participate and support activities in helping the victims left by Typhoon Ondoy.
