About VRILANIE FOUNDATION
“Two months after the typhoon, the situation in the Philippines is still a concern for thousands of survivors. We met families who have lost everything. Assistance they receive is often ad hoc and rice stock runs out quickly. VFI is committed to being present with affected populations in the short term and in the long term. We are planning a three-year program combining reconstruction, support for livelihoods and vocational training.
Dominique Lemay share a second mission of emergency this weekend on the small island of Llacaon north -east of Negros. Thanks to your donations, the team will distribute food, drinking water and medicine to nearly 350 families with a value of 3,500 euros. These survivors will soon be relocated near Cadiz Viejo on the Big Island of Negros where they are better protected from typhoons. They will benefit from the program Bangon Probinsya – Changing yourself Province .

Not too often, but we try to present far bass music regions, where broadly defined dub is hearable in the producing technique, and electronic music is the content. We can’t omit some of that albums – dub is an art, it’s so wide and deep like delays and reverbs generated by it, like the musical landscapes it takes us to. [However, minimal dub and surrounding regions isn’t our daily bread – therefore we are looking for a person, who lives in this world, tracks that regions and would like to write album reviews.]
