This initiative for the typhoon Haiyan victims led by the couple has been supported by a number of UPAA Germany members and friends of the couple.
"....our planned support action for some victims of ‘Haiyan’ will be directed towards the youth. It is now clear that the funds we generate will be used to help re-build school buildings in Barangay Campokpok, a remote village in the northern part of Leyte and another one in Ochando, Kalibo, Aklan (Iloilo Islands)." - Myrna and Niels von Keyserlingk The couple had also conducted several charitable projects in Burma and in Manila.
