In our transition from the mountain region to the valley and a mission at Kiangan, we stopped off at Pastor Paul Cabotaje and Virgie’s rice farm — where he has a hut and a pond stocked with bait and hook biting Tilapia.
Here is Adriano showing off one of the whoppers he caught. Don’t let him tell you it took 30 minutes to reel it in!
The next day, Friday the 20th, we took our supplies of food, medicines, toys, toothbrushes, toothpaste, etc. and went to an elementary school where nurses, doctors and volunteers worked with 150 children, many parents and siblings, for four hours bringing needed medical attention.
Here is a picture of Pastor Chuck, along with Pastor Stan Cuerto, native Filipino and pastor of a church in Vallejo, finding medications prescribed by the doctors. Our driver, Georgie, in the hat, is on the left, making sure we get it right and then he helped convey to the families and children how they were to use the various medications. All are given vitamins and most prescriptions have to deal with infection and chest congestion. About one out of every six children needed only vitamins.
