Today I achieved one of the goals I set for myself when I moved here–establishing a charitable relationship with an organization that helps children in need. I’ve made some donations to the home during past visits but now I’m hoping to make some regular monthly contributions.

Had a brief meeting with the home’s director today. Of course, they always need money (which I’m not comfortable giving at the point) but food donations are also always appreciated. I brought some rice, canned goods, and other staples along with me today. I talked about having a monthly dinner party and birthday celebration for each child born during that month. The Director said they kids would love an event like that. So Jollibee’s (a local fast food chain) it is!

Anyway, I know what Jesus would say–don’t talk about it, just do it! (Hmm, I guess Nike would say the same). It’s not about me of course but it does feel good to get out of myself for a change and focus on making a difference in the lives of others.

Onward and upward!

Oh, here’s a video that gives some of the history and the mission of King’s Fil Am Home.
