Typhoon Haiyan will go down in history as one of the most powerful storms to impact the island nation. Over 11 million affected by the storm. Thousands feared dead. Over 673,000 left homeless. UNITED SIKHS has initiated our Philippines Relief Effort and is working to gather resources and build a team of volunteers, including medical professionals, to send to the Philippines.
