Hello,
My trip is now officially coming to an end. I am leaving for the airport in about 2 and a half hours. This summer has really changed my life. I hope each of you will also take something away from sharing my trip with me. I will be back in that States by 2 pm Monday. I will see you all soon. :)

Hi Everyone,
My trip is finally coming to an end. I flight to Manila leaves in just 4 and half hours. And then 12 hours later I will be leaving the Philippines for good. Well at least until I can make enough money to come back. This experience has been so amazing. There are so many things that have happened that I can't even describe or write...

Hello,
This is the third morning in a row that we have had a brown out at 5 am almost on the dot. And they have lasted from 3-6 hours. It isn't bad since it is in the morning just makes it a little harder to sleep because you can hear the dogs and roosters better.
I don't really have to much else to mention at the moment. I haven't really ...

Hello All,
So I am finally back in Tacloban now. It is kinda strange being back here. It really does feel like I went home for a while and now I am coming back to visit. I am so glad I got to visit Chris and her family. They were so nice and welcoming and made sure I had fun during my time there.
For my final two weeks I will be working at...

Hello All,
I am loving working at the orphanage. Each day is basically the same, lots of cuddling, diapers, crying, and playing. I could write a blog everyday about it but pretty much all I would say is I love the little babies like they were my own. I wish so much I could take pictures of them but it is against the rules. They are soooo ador...

Hello All,

So today VFV held their annual Medical Mission that had been postponed from Saturday because of our quarantine. The Medical Mission is basically a day of mass, free circumcisions. Here in the Philippines it is not culturally acceptable to be uncircumcised. So those boys who's families can't afford it are often made fun of. The ...

Heyyy All, This Saturday I went with the group of Canadians and the few other volunteers on our first excursion. First we went to the mansion of one of the past president's wives. She bought the land and had the house built to showcase all of her things but never actually lived in the house. The house was so beautiful, it was a big contrast from...

Hello All, I have finally gotten a chance to write a new entry. The community center has been really busy. So yesterday my host brother took me on a city tour. The city reminds me a lot of Mexico. Lots of little shops and restaurants everywhere. While in the city I didn't see one other white person. It feels so weird to be the minority. There ar...

Helloo, I thought I would give you guys more information on my home stay. The house is pretty rough compared to American standards. Cement walls and floors, no real windows, metal barred doors, no shower, and bugs. My room is about 6 by 8 feet with just a bed and small dresser. I do get a fan though which is much needed here. I pretty much sweat...

So I am here. Finally where I will be for the next 3 months. My home stay is literally within 20 feet of the community center. When I arrived at the community center there were dozens of kids that immediately came up and asked my name. I was only here for 10 minutes and they already remember my name and are calling me Ate Elsa. I met my host fam...
