Today has been our last day in Manila. we leave here for the airport at 7am tomorrow morning and will arrive back in London at about 10pm on Friday evening UK time. That's 24 hours from now but it will take 31 hours. I'm a time traveller!
Today we met at the Malate house for a joint birthday party for all the staff and children from Malate house and the ODC who have birthday's in June (8 in total plus our Michael) It was a fabulous celebration with each group singing and dancing and it was sucha joyous occasion. It is lovely to see the children, particulary the children from the ODC who still live on the streets, really having fun and being part of a loving close community.
The children at Malate had made us a fabulous scrapbook and the children from the ODC had made Michael a birthday card.
We will have plenty of stories to tell when we get back but tonight has been a highlight.
See you all on the other side.
Love Helen
