not a week goes where it is boring and the days just fly along. Hard to believe, but half of our stay in the Philippines is already over. Nevertheless, home to the flies have not thought of that! :-) But do far too much!
Last week there was a Feuerwehruebung in our house in Balanga. These men visited us some of the fire with their emergency vehicle, a presentation held over the fire and gave a practical introduction to the use of a fire extinguisher. As you can see in the pictures of some of the fire is already deleted rather professional.
A few days later we visited one of our days off CBR (community-based rehabilitation) in Payatas, which is a center for children with disabilities. A French helps a volunteer there each week and has taken us this time. We could look at the center and also played with the children. Then there was lunch with a supervisor. On the way home we went through a squat-area (basketball courts can of course waiting ...) where people live or lived in the garbage. The impressions are indescribable even though the government has moved for some time Muellablagerung to another place. The photograph is in the guarded area of Securities Unfortunately prohibited. The local stench and dirt - because the garbage is stored there still has on the lives of people not much changed - one can only imagine if one has not experienced it myself. People rummage through the black sacks and look out for useful any kind
Two days later we were once again in the NTSB (National Training School for Boys). This Jugendgefaengnis outside Manila, we visit every month and make with the boys various cognitive and physical activities. Unfortunately, photography is prohibited here, so we ventured there only during the dirty dishes to whip out the camera.
A second shipment of strawberries we got a total of 117kg last week. Once again it was very exciting, all day herumzukurven by car in Manila and to support our boys in their "Fruit-selling".
Okay, the Kartage and also the Easter Sunday we spend with our boys with the girls in Balanga. There are waiting once again, beautiful days we have in common.
We wish you a good time to prepare for the biggest holiday of the year!
