Seaweeds, Soldiers, Stilts, and Superheroes

Mindanao was a trip I wasn't prepared for. First, I didn't know what we were going to do there. I booked the flight just a few days before, and I just said yes to Jay, cause he had a plan, and I didn't bother to find out what on earth it was.

The One with the Infinite Boat Rides

Back from the big blue. I wish I could bottle up the way the sea makes me feel. I wish I could carry it with me. Is that ridiculous?

I spent the last few days mainly in the water--in boats and in remote islands around Bicol. I made this journey so I could get to know the little fishing community where the kids used to swim from one island to another just to get to school. The story is a story of hope. And I am so excited to be a part of it.
