    Today was another awesome day. We did two VBSs again – in Joel’s church with 63 kids and then at the dump with 52 kids. Today things went a lot smoother because things were more organized and we knew what to expect. We told the story of David & Goliath. The kids love our animated acting out of the stories. They remembered everything when we quizzed them on Joshua & Jericho from yesterday. All of the kids at Greenpark on the last day of VBS.At the dump we divided up into 3 groups to do more ministry after VBS. Vaneetha and I organized the donated shirts and put them in bags and walked around the dump with the youth from the Manila districts and gave them to these families. Many of them were also donated, new IWU shirts. The families loved them. Walking around the dump was a heart-wrenching experience. It is intense poverty. It reaked and you knew the bacteria was rampant. The kids walk around it in as it surrounds their house – it is normal for them. In America the government would do something about it – but here the govt’s way of dealing with it is legalizing rummaging through trash at dumps (which used to be illegal). I wish we could do more there… Passing out shirts in the dump This is where the family of six sleeps. This is the hammock for the baby to sleep in.
