A Christmas Gift for 12-15 Poor Children
December 16, 2005: Manila
We spent 5 hours shopping for childrens clothing in Manila’s Divisoria Street Market with the ProjectRice donated monies, and bargained for the best deals from the local vendors on t-shirts, shorts, slippers, jeans, pants - from infant size to about 12 years old, and ALL the poor children on Rosa’s street were gifted what they needed, and we tried to give them a Christmas to remember.
Rosa & her Auntie returned to my hotel with me (Rosa had never even been in a hotel before) & was enjoying some BBQ from a street vendor, when I took this image of her & some of what we bought for the kids that day - it covered the entire bed AND some of the floor…and was a humbling, satisfying & exhausting effort.

God Bless You for what you are doing. I have not been to the Philippines, but have been reading all I can find because I will go there one day soon. The Lord has laid the Children on my heart. I would like to hear more about your mission.
