Gina: Nov. 27, 2005

Nov.27, 2005: Manila

Soon after I arrived in Manila I went to look for Gina & her Family, and found them near Pedro Gil St. - I brought her a nice 5x7 picture of her I'd taken in 2003, and some food & goodies from a local store (Gina doesn't get the chance to taste a Coca Cola, or a Cadbury Chocolate bar, or a pint of fresh milk, etc)

Her Mama was with her as always, but not her Father - I didn't see him the entire time I was in Manila, but what has not changed is that most of what they own is inside a zippered bag in the foreground of the top image - some clothes, and the blankets & tarp they sit & sleep on.
