John Nduna (center), the general secretary of the ACT Alliance, talks with David Arias (left) and Romualdo Lozada, community leaders in Tolosa, a city in the Philippines province of Leyte that was hit hard by Typhoon Haiyan in November 2013. The storm was known locally as Yolanda. Christian Aid and other ACT Alliance members have been providing a variety of forms of assistance to survivors here, and Nduna and other ACT Alliance leaders spent several days in this and other affected communities learning first hand about the network's emergency response and long-term plans for recovery and rehabilitation.
