In episode four we find ourselves on the outskirts of Iloilo City, Philippines in the dumps of Calajonan. Sisters Florence and Hannah forage through garbage to earn (at most) $2.50 a day. They are the first generation in their family to have the opportunity to break the cycle of extreme poverty.

I have a sponsored child in the Philippines. This has opened my eyes to that country’s needs and the extreme poverty there. Having never been to the Philippines before, it floors me to actually see what these people have to do on a daily basis just to survive.
I’m enjoying these episodes…yet another window into the lives our our kids so far away. Please keep them coming!!
