A cook on duty at Tapaz Regional Hospital the day that Typhoon Yolanda hit the area, speaks of his fear as he watched the building come apart around him, during a session led by Project HOPE volunteers the hospital, on Panay Island, Philippines. On November 8, the hospital was hit by the full force of Yolanda (aka Typhoon Haiyan). All of the patients and staff were forced to seek shelter in the conference room as each of the rooms in the building lost its roof in succession. That day's staff stayed on duty for three days straight, despite most of them losing their own homes in the super storm.
