Thanks for all the clothes!

Many of you back home have sent boxes of clothes and we are so thankful to be able to give them away for you. We went up to this tribe of people, where some friends of ours are teaching literacy. The village consists of 8 houses that each hold several families. Apparently there are 70 people in this village, most of whom were working the rice fields. The tribal people on Mindoro are often exploited, and paid half of a normal wage for a days work. They were very shy but having our kids along made things easier, they collected some vegetables and coconuts to send us away with. So amazing to be blessed and taught by them in generosity! Pictures to follow.
