Dara & Thunder Start Charity Campaign for Haiyan-struck Philippines

Recently, the Typhoon Haiyan struck the Philippines, resulting in nearly 4,000 fatalities and over 10,000 injured. In response, the siblings Dara of 2NE1 and Thunder of MBLAQ set up a charity campaign at the WEGENERATION website to raise funds to donate to the Philippines.

“We are especially worried about the Philippines because we spent our childhood there,” the siblings wrote on the site. “Please support us so our neighbors in the Philippines can overcome their hardships and stand on their own two feet again!”

Haiyan was the most powerful typhoon that ever made landfall, and struck its first target, the eastern Philippines coastal city of Tacloban, with hurricane force (Beaufort force 12) winds and tidal waves that literally swept over the city.

Dara and Thunder’s campaign began on November 11 and will continue for six weeks. The target figure is 5 million Korean won, approximately 4,700 US dollars. The money raised will be handed over to the World Share charity organization to support emergency aid in the Philippines. Ten supporters will be chosen by lot to receive five of Dara’s treasures and five of Thunder’s.
