hi friends and family!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today we woke up early to take multiple Jeepneys and trains to get to Tondo so we could visit Smoky Mountain. Smoky Mountain is a community built on top of a hill made entirely of trash. It is called Smoky Mountain because it is so hot that the trash will burn and catch on fire creating a bunch of smoke. We did a VBS with the kids which included singing songs, playing games, performing a skit on the story of Jonah, and doing a craft. After that we were able to feed the kids and pass out food. This community was the poorest community we have seen so far and the definitely the hottest place we have been.

After the feeding, we were able to visit the girls home in Tondo while the guys visited the boys home. The girls home was an apartment on the 5th story of an apartment complex. The home consisted of 8 girls who all used to live in the slums of Tondo. Every week these girls attend church, Youth Lab (youth group), Bible study, and do community outreach on Smoky Mountain every Saturday morning. It was inspiring to hear their stories and see them all breaking the cycle of poverty while still serving and ministering to their own communities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After our visit in Tondo we\u2019re able to grab lunch with all of the leaders and then started our trek back home. Back at the YMC, we went swimming, got dessert at Jolibees (super popular fast food joint), and played games to end our day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Excited for our last couple of days here!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
