Thanks. Some local friends down near there told me it was on the 12th this year, but that may be their village not ximeng.
I read an article on Ximeng's Wa minority wooden drum festival.
It was written a few years ago. Mentions the festival was on the 10th of April. However, I would imagine it changes year to year with the lunar calendar.
Anyone have info? Would be cool to go there for tomb sweeping holiday
how to defend against fake fruits

The Help Out — Philippines Fundraiser

I worked with the Red Cross a few years ago so I can tell you they are definitely up there with regards to how much donated money gets to the victims. Red Cross first aid training pretty much covers the cost of admin and the likes, so most of what is donated gets to the people in need.
You also have to think about how the money gets from you into the food and provisions needed. It takes a lot of work to be done effectively.
As an example, after the boxing day tsunami someone organized a shipping container load of blankets and clothing while avoiding using an NGO. The result was a container on the beach that got flooded with the tide, resulting in clothing and blankets ruined and floating around in the sea.
