Living in the Philippines offers many opportunities to give service to those in need. Every Thursday I volunteer at a place called Mabuhay House. It is a free organization that offers free surgeries to children and adults with cleft palates, cataracts, club feet, tumors and many other deformities. It has been a rewarding experience and has really opened my eyes. I feel so blessed and grateful to be able to spend time with such special individuals. The organization was started by a U.S. member of the church. It is not owned by the church but is run mostly by members. On Thursdays we go and feed them and sing , teach a lesson and have an activity. I finally remembered to bring my camera. Here are a few photos of some of the children there with the project we did, leaf pictures. They are always so happy and loving even with all that they face. They are an inspiration to me!
