NOTES FROM THE PHILIPPINES
"I write to thank you for your wonderful container of more wonderful food! The items are being distributed now off the wharf, so that some can go to the victims of the typhoons... Some will probably reach Laguna which is still under water, and 20+ of their towns are still (un)inhabitable due to flooding and destruction of lands. We in Naga are awaiting our share for our Queen of Peace Children's Home with 60+ homeless children, over 300 in the Balatas Dump Site, Concepcion Grande Squatters, and our hundreds of walk-ins in our food lines daily".
"Please, if possible, may we have another container of goods? Our people are many, and their needs are great. Thanks a million.
Excerpts from an email by Mother Joan Clare to Joe Krentz, President, Canadian Food for Children Co-Workers, B. C. Division
"Unfortunately I cannot get pictures of the feeding of the street children because this is done at night, when the children are on the streets, having nowhere to sleep.
