NEW YORK — Franklin Graham, president of nonprofit Samaritan's Purse,
joined project organizers, local families and survivors of Hurricane
Sandy at one of New York City's major airports this week to personally
send off more than 60,000 gifts to some of Typhoon Haiyan's most
vulnerable victims in the Philippines.
"Do you know what these
gifts are going to mean to these kids? It means that somebody loves
them, it means they haven't been forgotten. It will mean everything in
the world. It will give these little kids hope," Graham told more than
300 attendees at Thursday's event.
"It's about letting the children of the world to know that God loves them and God hasn't forgotten them," Graham added in his interview with The Christian Post. His Samaritan's Purse international relief organization has been delivering emergency aid to
the Philippines after Typhoon Haiyan forced more than 3.9 million
residents to flee their homes. The powerful Nov. 8 typhoon has killed at
least 6,000 people and injured more than 27,000 others.
The
organization's annual Operation Christmas Child outreach will be
delivering shoe boxes stuffed with goodies and essentials to thousands
of Filipino children to let them know that Christians on the other side
of the world are praying for them and contributing to their needs.
