Philippines:650 More Kids Will Be Sleeping Better Tonight!!

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!
