See Them For Who They Are

I have learned so much sense being here. One of the days I had the opportunity to accompany the social worker MayMay. She wanted to see if this pt story was correct. Pt stated that she lived in a community home with her boyfriend. She is only 16 years old. Her parents died last year and her siblings were adopted out. She reverted to working in a bar to pay the bills. In the Philippines, this is looked upon very negativity. Pt told MayMay that she didn't know of Jesus could love her. MayMay was able to share with her Jesus' love.

This young lady is so beautiful. She is the one next to me with the very pregnant belly. This is the outside of where she lives.

When you first walk in, you see the kitchen. Dirty dishes, stove that does not work, and dirt floors. To the left is the where they sleep. Not much room. Behind the kitchen, is an open area where they go to the bathroom. No out house.

This little girl is one of the people that live here. She is standing at the entrance of the bedroom. Is she not soooo cute?

I learned that I have it soooo good. I have never really seen poverty up close until now. I can't imagine living in these conditions. I left that place with a broken heart and love for these people. I learned a lesson on gratefulness.
