Second Blog Post; Typhoon Haiyan

            On Tuesday November 19^th, St. Maurice school raised money for the horrendous typhoon that hit the Philippines. Normally, it would have been loonie Tuesday, and we would dress casual by paying a Loonie. On Tuesday, however, the people that dressed casual paid double the amount, $2, and this money went to the people that are suffering from the typhoon’s wreck. In my opinion, this was a very good idea, because it helped the sufferers of the horrible typhoon. In the morning, normally, the Canada’s national anthem would be played. On this day however, the national anthem of the Philippines was also played on the morning announcements. Also, we stood in silence for to show respect for the victims of the natural disaster.

            In total, our school raised 1 370 dollars. I did not think that we would raise this much money from only 2-dollar donations. From these donations, I personally realized that how even an amount of money so low, can have such a great impact on the lives of others. In my opinion, the donations thoroughly represented the kind of school this is, and our perspective on the people that are in need. Keep up the good work, and always help the people in need.
