There is a place near Manila Harbor called “Tondo” where the poor of the poorest reside. A place where families live in makeshift homes and the manner of human existence is unacceptable. Where people both young and old eat discarded food just to survive from day to day.
Through Project Pearls there is a way we can all help by means of their various programs. Their mission: “To help the poorest of the poor children to have a better life by giving them PEARLS: Peace, Education, Aspiration, Respect, Love and Smiles through education, empowerment, nutrition, nourishment, and healthcare.”
When we are reminded to count our blessings, may we remember to share them as well not only during the Christmas season but in every season.
