Last Friday and Saturday rich, aisa and I went to magallanes sorsogon for CISD session with the children and teens of Barangay Hubo (an island) in Magallanes, Sorsogon. Sorsogon was the hardest hit province in Bicol by Typhoon "Dante." Nearly 20 residents died in the province during the typhoon's onslaught. In the island itself, 18 residents died after a massive landslide which caught the victims in surprise (it happened at around 4 AM). With Olive, Mitch and the other staff of Green Valley Development Foundation and World Vision, we traversed the sea for 45 minutes under the heat of the sun. After which, the hard work came---we reached out to around 74 children and teens through our Citical Incident Stress Debriefing
