Philippines: Blessed

From Philippines Slideshow 3

Today was my day to receive 350 blessings from the children as they received their bedkit.

I am overwhelmed with their spirit. As a way of thanking us, the children take your hand and press it to their forehead. It symbolizes respect.

In a time when respect is often overlooked these children are very grateful for what they have received.

I am the one who feels blessed.
