So what are you actually doing?

So what am I doing now? Good question. I kinda fell into (ok, God definitely led me to) an opportunity to head down south to the city of Davao in the Philippines. I've connected with a group that's a part of OMF working with the poorer communities in the city...



(Bucana where I spend much of my time)






















(Isla Verde... on the water, but you probably do not want to be swimming in that water)







They have a whole range of projects and activities happening all aimed at serving these people. I'm working with a few youths/young adults in a project making sandals to sell in and around the community... and to you if you're interested (e-mail me if so!). The idea is to create a business that will be sustainable and not only provide them with some income, but help promote their general well-being: socially, emotionally, physically.

I'll be here until December 12, when I'll head to Manila and then to Toronto (followed by a trip to Houghton in the new year).
