Rainy season means rain, rain and more rain. The hard work accomplished by the AWA Palawan Project team a few years ago on the airstrip turned into a huge disappointment when the first major tropical storm arrived with torrential rains. Water from the nearby road, from neighboring farms and high elevation rushed across the fresh [...]
It was a last-minute decision for me to go along on the trip for what was to be one of the most touching experiences I’ve had so far working with AWA. Pastor Ric had just arrived at the office. He had packed a few things and was preparing to leave on an Angel Flight when [...]

Severe flooding and destruction from high winds have left many without shelter as their homes were lost, roofing ripped off, and yards flooded. As the water rose in the rivers and winds whipped the [...]
