Feeding and small group in Sto. Rosario

Today was our first full day in the Philippines, not interrupted by needing to sleep off jetlag.

Us MacDougalls went to visit the feeding programme in Sto. Rosario and thereafter shared in the small group. The Alexanders went off to visit at Block 37, I'm sure David will be along to tell of their day soon.

We had to use the traditional methods of transport in the Philippines, namely Jeepney and Trike, Sarah now has become addicted to riding on the outside of trikes, sitting side-saddle behind the driver, she clearly wants her dear old Dad to die of heart failure before his time:



I don't have a picture of Sarah side-saddle yet, but I'm sure I'll get one soon, here is Carol after her first time inside one of the machines:




We were warmly welcomed:



The children do some activities and sing some worship songs:





Then they have their food, in Sto. Rosario sixty children under six are fed, three times a week. They have a dish called lugaw (lougow) or sticky rice, it consists of rice, soup and chicken pieces:




Carol and Sarah were able to help with the feeding:





After the feeding the parents stay on for small group, Carol and I shared some Bible study with the group and then we took a photo of the group:

  1. Hey Guys! So good to see that you are all okay and obviously enjoying your visit (although it looks like you are all very busy!). We are all thinking of you and hoping that you stay safe and have a great time. Can't wait to hear all about it when you return to Blighty.
    Love you all,

  2. Hi Kay,

    its been a fantastic trip so we will definitely be back. We have made so many friends. Next time we are going to visit an island with our friends here so we have a mini holiday before we come home. Sarah has been loving it here and doesn't want to come home. I am looking forward to Christmas and then planning the next trip. Look forward to seeing you soon. Just over five hours to go before our flight to Hong Kong and then our eleven hour flight to Heathrow. Bye for now xxx Carol
