On June 20 Ken and Leslie were in charge of organizing a Senior's Activity.  Because we haven't done a service project since we planted trees in the landfill, we organized an activity where we took food out into the community and fed the children (and also a few adults).  These are pictures of the activity.


The kids came running up the hill to get their soup.  Some of them brought their own containers. They formed a line, and waited for their turn. They must have done this before because they knew the routine.







This picture of a little boy is a visual representation of the experience.  Even though we've lived here for over 16 months, we were still touched and surprised by the poverty and humble circumstances of these children/families.  They were very gracious and thankful for the food we gave them.





This is a picture taken after the activity was over.  The lady on the left wearing the blue T-shirt is the RS President of Batasan 1st Ward, Fedelina Rimando, through whom we organized the activity.  She is also employed by Social Services.  The older woman in the purple T-shirt is Sister Rimando's mother, who cooked the food.  We gave Sister Rimando the money to buy the food and  her mother cooked the soup.  The girl on the far right in the burgundy shirt is Princess Rimando, Fedelina's daughter.  She recently returned from serving a mission.
