Who We Are
We are a group of students at Northwestern University who are mobilizing our community in school to make a donation pledge to help the typhoon victims in the Philippines. We are working with several non-profit organizations in the Philippines to pledge specific goods and donations that will be delivered on-ground in the areas affected.
