After a brief but torrential rainstorm overnight, today was
hot and humid. Our first distribution was inside a basketball court in Angeles,
Pampagna, where 300 enthusiastic, cheering and clapping Filipino children
greeted us. With SCAW Philippines and local volunteers working alongside the
Canadian team, the day went smoothly.
The afternoon found us in Porac, where Aeta children had
been brought by a variety of transportation to the local sports arena. These
children are from indigenous families living close to Mount Pinatubo. The Aeta
children brought high spirits and enthusiasm to a new level!!
The proceedings began with a traditional dance from four
bedkit recipients lead by an Elder from the local Aeta community. Of
course…..our team was invited to join in!
