Project Philippines-Australia
As one disaster after another hits the world, we tend to feel overwhelmed by the suffering and by our inability to do anything tangible to help. Fortunately there are a few mad fools who jump in, boots and all to make a difference, often at great cost to themselves. Such a situation is unfolding here in Hobart where a Lindisfarne couple have taken on the Herculean task of refitting the 140ft ex-fishing vessel Corvina and loading her with supplies to deliver to the Philippines, to aid victims of Cyclone Haiyan/Yolanda.
