What village is this? If you and your friends can come up with a documented plan + steps, we can repeat it in other villages. I can help you promote it - graphic design + a post in the website... the key is to make it duplicable so other people can do what you're doing in their villages.. you just need to tell them how and take the thinkwork out of it so it's easier for them :) sounds great! go and do it!

My friends and I have been doing soup kitchen (when we can) from our own homes since Ondoy struck, sending out the food to whatever evac/relief centers need them. It's a small operation and we're making it up as we go along, but we'd really like to help you out any way we can. Most people have all the good intentions in the world, but don't know what to do about them. You're scouting out areas and putting up arrows and trying to figure out how to make those intentions into real action, and I appreciate that. Please keep going. People will come.
