The Past Week

This past week has been great.  We have been doing Language and Culture training.  The filippinos who we will be working with the most is doing the training so that is been good cuz while they are doing the training we are getting to know them.  This week we have been good but overwhelming in observing all the activities that go on in Bucana.  Which is the street ministry.  We went with Che and Cha who are a nurse and a teacher who are doing the feeding programs and tutorials for the children.  They took us to this community and they feed 20-25 kids.  Many of them are extremely malnurished, the one little boy that i have posted a picture was bed ridden for months due to not eating and his mom died of TB.  he is now walking and gaining some weight.  The children are very precious.  They go and feed them once a day.  We have gone twice with them this week.  Right now with the training we do not know what our roles will be but are seeing everything that goes on day to day.  the kids are out of school for summer now so they are planning skills training programs daily for the kids to learn how to play instruments, cooking, dancing, preaching, drama and art.  to keep them off the streets during the summer.  So we will be helping with that for the month.  the pictures below are the children from the community they do the feedings and Che does health teaching twice a month which she did when the pictures were taken.
