Medellin Dayhagon Elementary School after Typhoon Yolanda

The Dayhagon Elementary School in Medellin town didn’t make it after Super Typhoon Yolanda (Haiyan) barreled through Cebu’s northern towns. Architect Cris Cyril Abbu, a consultant to the United Nations, suggests that multi-functionality be built into new schools so they could also be converted into safe emergency shelters or community resource centers.
