Thanks Becky, yes your right, anything here we take for granted, and can get so easy, is like gold dust to the kids over there, where, the weekly wage is around, 250 peso, which is about £ 6.. I have been advised by a few locals who are running the project to bring as much learning/Educational, materials, like school books, English, Maths, Geography etc, which will help gratefully.. So will probably pay a visit to the pound store and buy every book for Children's education they have.Lady of Mystery wrote:That sounds amazing, you'll have a fantastic time I'm sure!
I don't know what the Philippines is like but if it's anything like the poorer areas of North Africa and the Middle East, one little tip is to raid the charity shops for anything Disney related before you go. Hand those out and you'll really be able to make some local children's day.
I remember once hitting a stalemate when haggling over a silver teapot in a market in Algeria. Neither of us would budge any further but the eventual deal clincher was a Lion King purse that I'd paid about 50p for because the stall holder's daughter loved 'Le Roi Lion'
Been back a couple of weeks now. But still haven't adjusted yet.Mandrake wrote:Welcome back!!
