Here is a child's view into the little children's home play area where we have all gathered for the Despidida of this very special boy. Tagalog songs are song by tlc staff. Special moments are shared. Tears are cried. We had a lovely time together.

A gift of a new washing machine for the little children's home

At the little children's home more than 200 diapers are washed every day plus clothing. Lucy has faithfully washed diapers for tlc for 20 years.




So when our washing machine of 9 years broke beyond repair it was tragic moment.




Darren posted pictures right away on Facebook and than I shared them to my Facebook page. The response was incredible. I will forever remember someone asking to how to give and two friends of mine and tlc's shared the donation material for how to give through MEANS.



Here is Lucy emptying and refilling the NEW washing machine.

Thank you to everyone's quick response to give.
