Second Time at Missionaries of Charity

It is very fulfulling to be sharing time with the less fortunate children. This is what I have experienced last year when I spent my birthday with them bringing some food to eat. I helped feed some of the children. These are children who may not have parents to look after them and some are even sick or with disabilities. 


After coming from Batangas I went to volunteer to the Missionaries of Charity Home of Joy in Tayuman Manila. It is a charitable institution founded by Mother Theresa and a lot of nuns take care of these children. They also have house parents who look after the children. They feed them, bath them and put them to sleep. 

I had the chance to meet again the child Maricris whom I met last year. She is a wheelchair borne girl who did not want to be fed by a woman volunteer but liked it to the man who celebrated his birthday with the kids. Everyone laughed. I experienced also this last year when she really chooses who to feed her. 


Other children whom I met and talked to were Eileen, Raiza, Eugene & Judy Rose. These are jolly kids who loved to be photographed. They really like to pose and enjoyed every photograph taken. 

I was not able to celebrate my birthday with them this year because I did not have the chance because of hectic schedules but I just donated some groceries for the children. I am hoping that I could come back next time and see again these adorable children.
