Help with Food
Last week offered many emotions in the Philippines. To be part of the inauguration of Peter Ek Education Center and celebrate the anniversary of the Star of Hope School in Taytay was real big thing. Then we worked on and visited the newest school project in Infanta. It is a small but very fine school. With support from donors in Norway, we will now be able to build two more classrooms there. Super great.
On Friday it became a little heavier emotionally. Then we visited the vulnerable families in the slums of Taytay where we run the big school. Most are living on the borderline and every day is a struggle. Star of Hope is helping many families and children, but more need help. The first thing many families cut back on the education of children, which only creates further problems in the long run. Education is an opportunity out of poverty, all children should benefit from. Star of Hope trying to help as many as they can and are able to.
Over the weekend, I have gone through the material from the week. Unfortunately, the Internet was unstable and sometimes nonexistent. But pictures and videos are coming. For now a picture of a strong woman in the slums Taytay.
