The group handed 300 packed foods to the coordinators and distribution for the victims followed. The evacuation center is occupied by approximately 200 families with over 600 dependents. A 27-day old baby caught our attention as we entered one of the 19 classrooms in the evacuation center. Her mother shared that she wrapped the baby with shirt and managed to lift her as high as she could until they were able to seek refuge.
