Please take time to watch this!

I just found this video online and had to share! Although our city is not as large as Manila and surrounding areas, the footage in this video paints a picture of our life here. Our traffic in Olongapo is nothing like Manila, but the slums and living conditions look the same. Fabella Hospital in Manila is more crowded, but at least there were sheets on the bed, unlike the Olongapo public hospital where you must bring your own bedding and sometimes share a bed with another mother and infant. Schools here in Olongapo have also gone to the "rotating system" this year, where half the students attend mornings, then the other half in the afternoon. Some schools have three shifts!
Please, please take time to watch this! Let it grab your heart. For those of you who support us, I hope this brings a clearer picture of the magnitude of the problems and why we must continue to bring the Good News and help people help themselves. Together we can make a difference!
