CAMA responded to the devastating flooding in Manilla with a $5,000 donation to the Christian and Missionary Alliance Churches of the Philippines (CAMACOP).

Your generous contribution has enabled us to help rebuild 25 houses for the victims of Typhoon Mirinae that hit Central Vietnam last November. Total of $20,000 was raised (half of which came from the Vietnamese District of the C&MA). Most of the houses were completed in time for the Tet, or Chinese New Year, celebration. A typical house is shown below and costs just over $2,000.
