December 4 & 5 (morning)

We have had a great trip so far we visited a lot of day care kids today, saw the daycare buildings, got a tour of one. Danced with JollyBee, played with lots of kids, saw how sad some of the street kids are, and how they are so hungry and wanted to be such a part of the parties they climbed the fence to get in, that was really sad. We then went to another party for foster parents and kids and saw the independent living scholars who are Nikki and my age and older who were abandoned when they were younger but they stuck with school and believe in themselves and are making a better life for themselves through KBF. Some of them just got back from Chicago, IL going to school there. It was fun to talk to them.
Nikk and I brought duck,duck,goose to the Philippines as well, we had to have the day care kids teacher translate it for us, then we must not have explained it right or something, cause it wasn't really duck, duck, goose, but they had fun and so did we.
Last night we went to the outdoor mall again, I got a few more presents for people, and it wasn't nearly as crowded. We had fun though.
We left Manila today to go to Cebu, we are here at the Plantation Bay Resort, it is really nice, and we are enjoying it a lot...Nikki, Jessi and I have plans for the next few hours before we got to the party today at Asilo de la Milagrosa. I'll tell you more later about what we did.

Enjoy some pictures from yesterday!Some of the scholars singing a song.
