Philippines: Farewell to the Philippines

It is hard to believe that we have distributed 6,000 bedkits at 19 different sites over the last 11 days. Each distribution went smoothly thanks to the extraordinary efforts of Dr. Ito Torres and his SCAW Philippines team as well as the local overseas volunteers at each site.

Including the 6,000 bedkits delivered
in the Philippines this year, our total is
now 1,151,130 bedkits since
Sleeping Children began in 1970.

After our last distribution at Tatalon, a Barangay near Quezon City, we met with Dr. Ito Torres and his team to discuss this year's distributions and to pass on our thanks for their dedication and support to SCAW and the children that it helps. (Picture below.)

Most of the SCAW Philippines team have been involved with the charity for decades and look forward to continuing their association in the future. Even when the distributions were finished, their hospitality and support continued, confirming the strong bonds that have developed between this year's SCAW travelling team and our SCAW Philippines counterparts.

They are a real blessing and cannot be thanked enough.
