Of course the storm in the philippines was devastating and was very bad for everyone there. Hundereds are reported dead with over half a million displaced. People are currently struggling to find food. It's thought that up to ten thousand could be dead by the end. I think it puts an awful bias as it was a major event that might have killed thousands and it isn't major news. The football player who called another player a racial slur got more news time than it. We had a storm a year ago that killed nearly nobody and you never stop hearing about it. It's because it took place in America that it's all of a sudden a horrible tragedy while much worse things elsewhere are unheard of. It is good to hear that help is being sent though. The Us, the Uk, the majority of europe and the UN are all sending support. We can raise money here for the victoms. we can even help out with larger projects as they will be around and will be happy for the help.
