November is
children’s month here in the Philippines with many events to celebrate these
amazing little people. Last Friday morning the seven day-care centers in our
community came together for a light-hearted contest in dancing, singing,
reciting and drawing. It was a delight to see three and four year-olds try
their best to impress the judges and some of them were very talented. Two children
from Angel House joined in the fun and did very well. Angel House also gives
financial support to these seven day-care centers as part of our community
outreach program. PHOTOS: Our little boy in the drawing competition. The

On Sunday
our nine oldest kids were very excited as we made the long journey to Davao
city to join many other charities for a fun event organized by the office of
the President and the DSWD. There were more than six hundred children there and
it was amazing to see so many centers like Angel House coming together to have
an early Christmas party. Our kids enjoyed watching the clown, magician,
Jollibee and Bumblebee the transformer entertain them, as well as jumping on
the inflatables and eating lots of Jollibee and snacks. Upon reflection, it is
also very sad that so many kids need our help and are the innocent victims of their
circumstances, but at least everyone had a great day out. PHOTOS: Watching the magician. Meeting
Jollibee. Inflatable fun.
