And finally on the 26th of July, the team was ready for the villagers of Kuje. They were all assembled at St. Andrew's Seminary as arranged. 100 families received a bucket full of goodies. A generous spirit is an inherent trait among Filipinos.
The work as manifested here is but a very small token rendered to the Filipinos' host country. The Filipino Community here in Abuja, together with the religious sisters of the Nunciature, know that there are still many things that the community can do to help.
Here Alan and Sherwin were loading the buckets in the car. It was such a real spirit of balikatan, a joint effort, that each Pinoy with a vehicle carried buckets for the villagers.
At the village....
The villagers, so attentive and well-organized...
Part of the team....
The team was back in Abuja by around 2:30pm...and went straight to Dantata & Sawoe for another event..
(to be continued...)
