The climate here tends to be several degrees cooler than further south, making Baguio a retreat for Filipinos wanting to escape the heat and humidity of southern cities.
At the SPED school we were once more warmly greeted by these very special children, as we explained to them that 350 bedkits were being given by us on behalf of their Canadian friends so far away. All the donors would like see was a smile from the children......and did they deliver!
The boy taking home the 6,000th bedkit was overjoyed at the extra attention he received at the end of the day.
One young man made a special trip to the distribution site, as he had received a bedkit in 1984 and wanted us to know that after all these years it was still remembered and appreciated. He is now a computer technician.
As this is our last distribution day, we offer our heartfelt thanks to those very generous donors who make such a difference in 6,000 children's lives.
