For three years since 2009, my husband and I are always in the streets of Manila every December 30, to give a little of what we have to the people living in the streets. It has been a yearly event for us that started out small; a couple Kilos of spaghetti with some old clothes, about 10 Kilos of uncooked rice, some candies and little toys for the kids.
It was the year when were hit by Typhoon Ondoy, yes we were part of the thousands of victims because our old house was flooded too. But realization hit me that we're still lucky to be alive and well after the huge storm, so hubby and I started the gift giving project.
Last year, we managed to give more, about 100 people were fed, were given old clothes and some other goodies. It's great that Jeff's family and my brother helped us with the project and I encourage everyone to do the same. Giving is humane.
