Fishermen working in Guimaras oil-spill clean up using bare hands
Fishermen in Guimaras are in dire need of protective suits and masks to continue helping in the clean up. Some of them are using their bare hands to sift the oil out of the coastline. There are some who are developing skin rashes and coughing from working in this condition.
I dont know what organization to go to ask for help. (to donate please check www.projectsunrise.org
In another twist, people are starting to cut their hair in the Philippines. Parlors are teeming with people who are getting a makeover and donating their hair samples for Guimaras. Greenpeace has announced that hair has absorbing properties and is proven effective with oil-spill incidents.
