Well what can I say !!!

We are all safely back home except for Jo who stayed behind with Emma and the girls. The 2 weeks were quite an experience and the 2 farewell parties at Dacutan & Payatas, plus the farewell at Joyland was quite a tear renching experience for most of us.

Jo has kept you all up to date with the first week, but thought you would like to see a couple of photo's. As most of you know, I am a man of little words so will let some of my photo's do most of the talking.

1st Photo: Gordon and myself after constructing the timber frames worked on the large veranda roof, leaving the others to complete the side roofs. This is the point the Joe and Glen realise that they have run out of corugated tin roof and that the job cannot be completed before we leave.

2nd Photo: is of Rick & Suzet with a look of gratitude for all the work we had done.

3rd Photo: A farewell shot of the team and children at Joyland

It was at this point that the children finally realised that we were not coming back for a long time and did not want to let us go.


The next couple of photo's is of the magnificent view of where we would stay for our weekend break and views of the resort, which is totally different to what we had been acustomed to.





and then the party and meal at Dacutan.

The following were some of the most heart rendering views of the poverty at Payatas, a total difference to the time we had spent on the beach.



Father Pauls Home which he is sharing with another family, need less to say we left in deep thought and prayer that they can overcome these terible conditions and what if anything we could do to help.



I have many more photo's of our trip, too many to show on here, so ask me to see them the next time you see me at church of may be we could organise an evening for all the team to show the photo's they took.
