Most definitely the most memorable experience to date. Typhoon Haiyan hit the Philippines leaving millions displaced and injured with no assistance. GOTG sent two teams to Polompon, rebuilt the hospital, restocked and refurbished it, giving hope to thousands of destitute people. http://www.giftofthegivers.org/typhoon-haiyan/3742-photo-gallery-teams-arrive-in-philippineshttp://www.giftofthegivers.org/typhoon-haiyan/3742-photo-gallery-teams-arrive-in-philippineshttp://www.enca.com/world/gift-givers-assisting-philippines-typhoon-victimshttp://www.news24.com/Multimedia/World/SA-rescue-team-offers-typhoon-relief-20131121http://www.ehowzit.co.za/news/sa-relief-team-arrives-philippines/Gift of the Givers responds immediately when international assistance is called for.
