| February - June 2006 Housemates |
| I arrived home at Bahay ng Pag-Asa to a great welcome on Valentines Day after my Christmas break in London, and that evening I took the children out for a meal to celebrate. We had a great evening.... check out how many we are on the tricycle (unless your a policeman in which case skip this bit) and don't forget to count the photographer! |
| While Len-len, Bullet, Jenny and Denmark are having fun on the swing, Alvin, Grace, Aldrin, Mae & Gerome were busy making a big family decision.... What's for dinner! |
| Mae now very heavily pregnant was very grateful I was home so I could take over the household duties and the accounts again giving her a most needed rest. After the nightmare of Aldrin's accounting last time I was really delighted to discover that Mae had been taking care of the accounts, and that they were correct to the centavo! Thank You Mae. |
| As you can see Len-len has made wonderful progress and her skin disease has now completely gone, Len-len is a delightful child and has been a great help to Mae while I have been on vacation. |
| The children are all making great progress at school and Alvin came top in the class. Which is a great achievement, we are all very proud of him, and have great hopes that he will continue to study and be able to get a good professional job. He will then be able to break the cycle of poverty which entraps so many Filipino's. |
| Sadly Patricia decided that after several years of care she no longer wanted to remain with us. Patricia suffers from schizophrenia and was extremely jealous of all the children and while the kids understood that Patricia had big problems it did make life in the house very difficult at times. So for the safety of the children I agreed that she should go and stay with her aunt in Santiago. I personally will miss Patricia very much, as she has been a major part of my life for the past nine years.... We will of course continue to support her however we can. |
