Lisa-- I am having the same problem, the media forgets so quickly about such major needs in the world...Did you search The Red Cross site, they are there helping out now...Maybe some one could even call the Sac branch and see what they say about current state of need, etc. Keep up the great work, watch for my email to you this evening--S
Where is everyone else? I know you are all busy, but try not to wait until the last minute, it puts pressure on the rest of us! You are welcome to come in early tomorrow, I am ending the previous class at 630 in our classroom. Also, fyi--Class will get out at 830pm tomorrow evening! Smiles--S
Hi everyone, I'm so sorry about not bolgging. I've been sick. Well, I called Red Cross since Lisa's research did not go too far. I talked with Fund and Development personnel, Ronnie. She will hook me up with 2 donation cans and some information on the Philippine landslide information. I'll bring in the can and the info to the class on Monday.
Thanks you guys, especially Zach and Lisa--all this info is helpful to me too! Jane--thanks for going to the Red Cross, sorry, I just assumed that donations would be covered by that committee, I wish I could have warned you about the $$ deposit! Great work presenting in class this week team--Sandra

Earth Day – Philippine Mudslide Disaster Outline (Using Emotions and Conflict Chapters)
Earth Day and the Philippine Mudslide Disaster in Guinsagon, Philippines on February 17, 2006 are two related events. The mudslide took place combined with a 2.6 magnitude earthquake. Manila Standard reported that there was continuous heavy rains for two weeks and geographically, the light tremor was enough to “shake the rain-soaked’ community. An estimated 1,800 people died due to the landslides blamed on illegal logging.
Emotions shape our world and what we do. They influence how we feel about others and the way we communicate with other people.
In times of crises, intense emotions arise. We feel empathy, compassion, anger, grief, helplessness, hopelessness.
As mature individuals, we should have emotional intelligence to deal with crises and day-to-day activities.
Differences in viewpoints, mindset, goals happen in interpersonal conflict. The aim is for a win-win situation that addresses these differences and resolve the conflict.
sorry if it is long.
