We have just launched a program to help those, who have lost their homes. It is estimated around 10,000 homes being badly damaged. Most of those are homes of poor fishermen, who know nothing about insurance. It is estimated to cost around $1000 to $1500 to build a basic house. So please ask people you know and would like to help in this matter. We encourage you to get together and share a house for a family in need. We will send the updates and pictures of the family as we progress.
