Raymond’s school will do their best to help him succeed and to keep us informed of his progress. I hoping that the extra attention to Raymond and his family will make a difference. There is much work to be done.

We delivered the clothes to Raymond’s family before we left the Philippines. His mother was very happy for receiving the food and clothes. I took this picture of the house they live in to give you a sense of what their daily life is like. This small house is where all the family sleeps. It does not provide adequate protection from the rain and wind. I spoke to Raymond and he said he would study very hard so he can try to move ahead in school. He is still in 1st grade, but he has a lot of potential. I taught a science a science lesson at his school and he said he enjoyed doing his first experiment. I hope our efforts make a difference in this family’s life.

Next post, a Philippine science experiment.
