Stockdale man to serve with Baptist disaster relief team in the Philippines
October 13, 2009 | Comment on this article
Ernie Rice of Stockdale is in the Philippines for typhoon relief. Rice and nine other Texas Baptist Men deployed to the Philippines Oct. 7 to spend 10 days helping with relief work and teaching local people how to clean up the area in the aftermath of the flooding and landslides that took place in recent days.
The Philippine Islands were hit by typhoons Ketsana and Parma, causing water to rise more than 20 feet in some areas. At one point, 80 percent of Manila sat underwater. The National Disaster Coordinating Council reports that Ketsana caused 246 deaths in the Philippines, as well as 72 in Vietnam and nine in Cambodia. More than 2 million people have been affected by the storm.
The group includes team leader Rice, Bill Gresso of Garland, Stan Knight of Dallas, Harold Patterson of Scoggins, Russell Schieck of Lubbock, Mike Tello of Elsa, Larry Vawter of Altair, Leo Vega of Odessa, Rey Villanueva of Kenedy, and Rand Jenkins of Mansfield.
To support the Philippine relief efforts through Texas Baptist Men, visit http://www.texasbaptistmen.org and click on the Donations tab, or mail a check marked for disaster response to Texas Baptist Men, 5351 Catron, Dallas, TX
75227.
For more information about relief work in the Philippines, call Joe Detterman, volunteer disaster relief director, at 214-632-8861. |
