A TOWN THAT WAS

It's one thing to have a storm go through that left some tree limbs, some lumber from the houses and some garbage lying around but it is totally different when a storm is so strong that you have to actually start over. Some of the areas that we visited in the Philippines were hit so hard that they had to start over with the roads as well as the buildings. Imagine trying to locate where the roads used to be because of so much damage to the whole area. 

So what do you do? You start building the town over again. The government was very instrumental in helping the small communities in their rebuilding stages. Some areas had been built up quite a bit already and some areas were not as developed yet. This little town was the site of the second medical camp and this is where our team saw the most people in the two-day time.

Lots and lots of medicine was used during those two days.

When asked about the amount of medicine we were able to purchase at Filipino prices, I was told that if we had bought that same amount of medicine over here, it would have been almost triple what we paid over there. This would not have been possible without the Lord blessing us through your generosity. 

Dr. Joy Sanico, far left, was very supportive of our team and we are very grateful for all of her support.

Trying to see what's going on in there.

This little cutie is surrounded by boxes and boxes of medicine provided by people like you.
