Philippines: Rock Star Treatment

A early start and driving through lots of traffic  was the way we started our day. We got through the city into a more country setting passing by rice fields until we reached our destination of Balling . The streets were lined with parents and onlookers awaiting our arrival. we set up and started our distribution in a school of 1100 students.

 We finished in good time and were able to talk to volunteers and some local people who lived across the street from the school.The Philippean hospitality is second to none.

All of sudden we heard motorcycles in the school yard and were told they were for us as we were getting an escort to Paridel. The bikes wove through the street with us following . We were given a rock star  reception as we reached our destination.

We quickly set up and started our task in a basket court with the bleachers full of enthusiastic kids.
