We then had our first experience of the Philippino skyway (motorway for the common Englishman) our crazy yet “safe” driver Lito was in his element scaring us all in the back. We passed the journey playing games and singing silly songs as we always do, and Simon was winding us all up as usual. When we arrived at Laguna we were greeted by the social worker Jane who gave us a short orientation of the Laguna house. Laguna is a long term home for girls who usually join from the Malate center. We were all very happy when a plate of banana fritters and ice cold water came in which put us all in a good mood. We then went to the top floor where all the girls were waiting for us to show us their dances and songs. Yet again we were amazed by the talent of these children who put a lot of effort into entertaining us. We then had to follow them with our tin can song which didn’t quite match their excellence even though this was our best performance to date, watch out Britain’s Got Talent!
We played and danced with all the children and some members of SLT attempted to play basketball with them but got thrashed.
Afterwards we went downstairs to find a delicious meal waiting for us which we ate with the staff from Laguna. After we were full, we prayed for the staff for all the work that they were doing, one of the prayer requests was for us to persuade our best friend Prince Harry to come over to the Philippines next year and marry off one of the beautiful staff members (female obviously)!
It was finally home time after a busy day, we were all tired but as we are ladies we still managed to fit in some much needed shopping time and a drink at the famous TGI’s.
God bless
