Day 7: The Island

Today the team enjoyed a well-deserved and much needed sleep in, meeting for a late devotion at 9:30. After organising our washing and preparing our skit, we went out for lunch. We then traveled in tricycles to the Blue Reef Resort, where we spent the afternoon swimming, playing games and relaxing.

This evening we went to the shopping centre where Pastor Earl and the Church of God hold a weekly movie night for those people who live in the dumpsites around the community. After watching a very intense ‘The Island’ we sang a classic Aussie song and Christmas carol, where the audience clapped and sang along.

We then helped Pastor Earl hand out food bags which we had purchased and donated to the families who came along and began chatting with some of the local children, learning a few new Filipino words:
Beautiful - maganda
Handsome - gwapo
Hair - buhok
Thankyou -Salamat

We had a great, relaxing day today and we are all looking forward to the church visits tomorrow!
