| Christmas 2007 |
| I returned to the Mission early December after a long absence due to several family crises. However I was not meant to stay long as my husband was taken ill and I had to return to London early January, but while I was at the Mission I tried to bring some Christmas Cheer into lots of lives! |
| Santa and his Elf prepare to spread some Christmas Cheer and have loaded 250 gifts and candies on the Sleigh.... Well tricycle... We couldn't find reindeer in the tropics! |
| Christmas is all about children and what better place to spread a little Christmas Cheer than at the hospital! |
| The Hospital is so over crowded that the children are not only in the corridors but also outside! |
| Every child received a gift and for many like this poor little fellow sleeping out doors with cardboard for a mattress it was the first time he has seen Santa! |
| And We Complain About Our Hospitals ! |
| Our new patient baby Gemma needed urgent surgery. Bahay ng Pag-asa paid for her hospitalization and medication. |
| Gerald was suffering from a disease caught from Rat Droppings. Many children living in poverty contract diseases from unsanitary conditions. |
| Gerald was one of the lucky ones! Bahay ng Pag-asa paid for his hospitalization and medications, and as you can see a few weeks later he was strong and well and on his way back to school! If you would like to bring a smile to the face of a child please become a Sponsor or make a donation.... Even a Few Pence Will Change Lives and Make a Child Smile! |
