Over 300 kids greeted us this past Saturday when we hosted a meal for the children. Malnutrition rates are so high in the poorest area of Bacoor, Tabing Dagat, which makes meals for these children absolutely critical. These kids are all roughly 7 years of age. They were quite small for their age. Despite their cheery faces, they were incredibly thin.
By the time the project is finished here and it’s my time to return to Colorado, we will have fed over 900 kids (1 day that they don’t have to worry if they’re going to eat or not). I am hoping that I can continue a meals program for these kids even just once a month.
Thank you to all who made it possible for this kids to enjoy a much needed meal. I would also like to thank the people of Bacoor who volunteered their time to help me facilitate everything. Please check out the pictures so you can see the children that you’re helping.
