Rain Love on Manila, in Shirts

New York, NY. Thanks to the profound kindness of friends from Sharp Communication (sharpthink.com), a premier public relations, advertising and design firm on Madison Avenue, Rain Love on Manila will soon be seen and worn by people who care about the heartbreaking state of the Philippines after tropical storm Ketsana/Ondoy nearly a week ago.

Rain Love on Manila is a design cause that strives to bring attention to the grave aftermath of the tropical storm Ketsana/Ondoy on the Philippines, and by doing so, to inspire compassion from people all across the world who are personally affected, or know someone who is affected by the tragedy. This graphic represents a call to shower warmth onto Filipino families who were devastated physically, emotionally and spiritually by the massive garbage-strewn flood that tore down homes and dreams that each hardworking Filipino built, with every $0.60 he and she earns an hour.

World, let's clothe the Philippines, and wipe the tears that have been falling even after the rain.

  2. Hi Marc!

    Apart from (1) sourcing white shirts, printing on them and selling them, and (2) collecting old clothes and other basic necessities into cargo boxes for shipping, we're open to other suggestions how to bring relief back to the Philippines.

    Please write us at rainloveonmanila@yahoo.com, so that we can better figure out how we can work together. Thank you for reaching out!
