Wow, what a day, completely drained emotionally and physically after a hard days work of mission. Returned once again to Sucat to lead the ministry but we were also able to go and visit the slum "houses" which was completely eye opening and harrowing to see. Having to hear how 12 people share a shack that has just two rooms is hard to imagine and hear about but also hearing how someone could charge 500 peso's a month for a similar experience is sickening. It was tough for me and I was very close to breaking down as were many others. However seeing the joy and openess gives a different perspective to our lives and how we live in the UK.
A much happier experience was leading the night life ministry again where we could once more bond with the children and help touch their lives even providing medical care when needed. Their happiness when we sang songs and taught them games was brilliant to see and their reaction to us giving them new clothes was a real joy and made the day. Thank you all for donating unwanted items of clothing as they made a real difference and will continue to do so.
