Tomorrow is challenging...

The UK team seem a little tired today - trying to take on board all we are seeing and experiencing. So it is off to bed for an early night.

Tomorrow we are off to a feeding centre. One of the constant battles in the communities is to get enough food to eat, and of sufficient nutrient quality. The feeding centres are run by Hands of Mercy for children of the 'poorest of the poor' who are often very under-developed due to the lack of food. Hands of Mercy are able to supplement their diet and help them to be more healthy.

Food is also a real concern for the Filipino volunteer workers of Hands of Mercy who, like the rest of the residents of the squatter communities are desperate for food for their families.

Tomorrow we are also off to visit the local prison where we expect that people will be living in poor conditions. We feel a bit daunted!

And talking of tomorrow, we are thinking about dreams for a better tomorrow for all these poor people. What could tomorrow hold for them, in a better world? What can we do to make that happen?

Tomorrow is challenging....
