Hi everyone, just thought I would let you know how its going so far. Today I went with Sol to buy the coffee cups, saucers, plates and cutlery for "K sem" coffee shop!! It was great fun bartering at the wholesale market. Everything is nearly ready and there is great excitement here about the opening. All they need now is lots of customers so please pray for them after all their hard work to get it started.
Each time I come here I am struck by something new, although I have always known the staff work hard, this visit I have been aware of the extent of Sol and her team's dedication and commitment to the children, each child so loved and cared for. I just love hanging around the Malate centre playing with the children. We are really looking forward to taking everyone swimming on Friday. At the beginning of the week Jess was telling some of the more lively children at Malate they had to be good for four more sleeps !! It appears to be working:-).
We were in the malate centre last night joining the children with their evening devotions this normally reduces me to tears and last night was no exception!(Please pray for Micheal who has broken his coller bone and may need an operation to pin it.)
Tomorrow we go to Tunasan and Laguna (where Heidi and Sarah will spend the second month of their placement.) so it will be good for them to see the other centre. They are both doing really well and the children are loving all the extra attention.
Thats all for now God bless
Mary xx

Hi Mary (and all the team out in Manila), it is so good to hear of the exciting progress being made with the coffee shop - can't wait to see some pictures. Will keep Michael and all of the children & staff in my prayers as always. Have fun on Friday with the swimming - I cannot believe it is nearly 12 months since we were out there but your posts keep bringing back the memories. Gods blessings to you all, Richard
Hi Mary and everyone else. Please give little Michael lots of love from our big Michael. We were looking at our photos of the two of them just the other day.
The coffee shop sounds amazing. Can't wait to see photos. When is the opening. Ill open a packet of coffee here to share the occasion. God bless. Helen.Xx
Hi Mary, lovely to hear more about what is happening. The coffee shop opening sounds so exciting & have a good time on Friday swimming - I remember hearing about it on a previous visit. Hope Heidi & Sarah are ok, we miss you all lots!!

The children at initi8 ( ages 7-11yrs) were excited to hear the news about the coffee shop tonight at our club. We all prayed for the work that's going on out there and for Michael too that he gets the right help he needs and it heals well.
Celebrating the coffee shop opening sounds like a great idea for us to do here too! Plse let us know when it happens.
God bless you all in everything that you are all doing out there. Xxx
