After last week's distribution of relief goods, I realized that there are still plenty of funds/donations left. It inspired me to come up with a project I temporarily and secretly call "Tribong Silangan". It is a weekly gathering of children and teens to spend time cooking, playing, painting, eating etc. together. Every Sunday afternoon, we organically learn with and from each other and have tons of fun and laughter! Here's what happened on our first Sunday as a tribe:
 |
| We had fun chopping and dicing and preparing pancit for our merienda. |
 |
| James helped by cooking with our teens. It was amazing for me to see how he uses his skills and passion to participate in our little community. While watching him, I felt so much gratitude for the gift of having wonderful kids and the opportunities we have to share them to the world. |
 |
| Ate Dilay helped the younger kids in getting seconds from our humongous pan of noodles. |
 |
| Vane, Dilay, & Joy gladly cooked for us this afternoon. They are very good cooks! |
 |
| The children of Tribong Silangan were gifted with stuffed toys and clothes from our family in Canada. We appreciate the support from Ate Che, Kuya Norman, & Melo and are grateful for the gifts we received from them, as well as the gift of having them as family. |
 |
| The kids invented a game where they lined up and a small child riding on a skateboard would pass through. |
 |
| They also played a traditional childhood game, which I forgot the name, unfortunately. :) |
