Our second stop for the day was in
Dasmarinas where we provided another 300 kits to some very grateful
children during a warm, humid afternoon. During the day we interviewed
four parents and what incredible stories they related to us. Perhaps one
will put in proper context the plight of these children. The one fellow
was a street peddler. He has built a shack from scrap metal on a a
piece of property upon which they have squatted. It frequently collapses
upon them. The family of four all sleep in this tiny room on a piece of
foam he found, sweating in the intense heat or feeling wet when the
rains come and the makeshift rook leaks. What a difference the kit will
make to them as a family.
All in all we spent a fulfilling day, where the need of what we do here was palpable.
