Philippines: Plaridel

From Philippines 2012

Today we visited the village of Plaridel where the children are poor but rich in hope.

These two girls spoke little English and seemed hesitant to approach the picture area ... and so to comfort each other they held hands. We felt it was an obvious sign of comfort and clearly depicts what we were hoping to deliver to these children; a comfortable sleep. They left with a comprehensive bedkit filled with all of the necessities to provide a good night's sleep and we felt we had accomplished our task.

The team was so touched by the gesture that it was only natural to accept those children that approached and posed hand in hand.
