Well.. I am leaving in 2 days, and I am pretty pumped... Getting to go to the Philippine's this winter is a once in a lifetime opportunity. I am going to be spending this time while I am gone bring Christmas to the orphanages in the Philippine's. I will be updating my blog everyday of my trip, I will be up for answering questions, and whatnot so ask me some questions. So have fun in the cold, I will be enjoying the heat!

Youtube link to last years trip
I thought everyone might enjoy looking at a video Holt International produced about the 2006 Philippines Gift Team... these are some of the things we will be doing and seeing. We are all so excited!
As we prepare for our trip
Dear friends,
Many of you have asked, what you can do to be a part of this years gift team, and I thank you in advance for your kindness and support of this trip and the children we will be blessed to see and help. Below is a little info about this trip, and suggested items for us to take from the US. Please let Lynlee or myself know if you would like to donate any items for us to take on this trip.
This trip is designed to visit Holt supported services in the Philippines. We will see programs and services operated by Holt’s partner Kaisahang Buhay Foundation (KBF )and programs KBF provides technical assistance to. Holt has partnered in the Philippines with KBF for 31 years!
At each of the programs we will visit a Christmas party will be held for the children or participants receiving the services.
Some ideas for gifts for us to bring –
• Chocolates for staff at child care centers or KBF (Bags of Hershey’s kisses are great)
• Supplies for Cross Stitch (thread, fabric)
• Supplies for making beaded jewelry
• T-shirts for Independent Living Home Students
There are 16 students - sizes small & medium, they like shirts with graphics and or logos
We will be blessed to see the following:
• Foster care
• Child care centers
• Single mothers home
• Independent Living Home
• Day care for at-risk children
Thanks so much for supporting Lynlee and her dreams to be a part of this,
Lynlee's mom Kassey
