My thoughts
My friends helped me find this site and I was going through the site and I spotted a picture of the typhoon and I read something about it and I thought that it was tragic. I was very interested and wanted to find out more about it. I think that the typhoon was huge I wouldn’t want to walk in those peoples shoes. I feel really bad that these things are happening in the world and that so many people are dying because of the natural disasters. I wish that didn’t’ happen and I would love to help the people in the Philippines, give them money and food.
