Philippines - Melanie

I saw Alice and the children yesterday. She looks amazing. She has been doing very well at school. The fish business is still going well. They dont make a lot, but enough for them to survive, eat, and pay for tuition fees at the elementary school. One of the 17 children the fish business supports, is Alice's sister . The pics are amazing. Weve got some wonderful photos of the children on the dump, eating the chocolate biscuits, and the pink bags. I cant believe that we supplied so many people with so much, out of such a few bags.
We are starting up a micro business selling rice, and it will help the kids who live in the tombs, to eat , and be educated. The work is going on so well. Jon Jon and Tess looked after us, in very basic conditions, but they are so capable of looking after so many children. They want to start an elementary school, in the Barangay, village, for 3 to 8 year olds. This is exciting because we gave them the educational packs, and they were delighted.More to come when I return to UK. Tonight We are flying back to Singapore, where Thelma and I will part company, and I will pick up my BA flight, and Thelma her Emirates back to London. Its been an awesome trip once again, and we achieved so far more then ever we anticipated. The pics tells it all.
Catch you soon
