Waiting

So, we do a lot of that here. But it should be considered a nice contrast to the busy-ness of navigating traffic, or running from meeting to meeting. Later today we will travel to the GK sites that are partnered with Ateneo University. Last week we saw sites in Baseco(urban metro-Manila) and Calamba (in the Laguna Province). The houses and communities are beautiful, and there is a general spirit of joy that pervades everything- a stark contrast to the usual gloom of poverty. We are also being inundated with success stories of people who have found their motivation for life after being touched by GK. The houses in the Philips village in Laguna were so beautiful that I was taking notes for decorating my own home some day. Tito Tony always talks about having 1st world expectations, and building 1st world communities - not settling for "3rd world" or developing country standards. This is the mark of GK, and they are taking the Philippines- and others around the world by storm. .... We are also working on getting more pictures into the photo album, so have a bit of patience, and hopefully we can share with you an adventure in pictures soon! (The photo albums are linked in the link list).
