Well the last few weeks have been crazy busy which explains the absence of a post.  From Davao to Butuan to San Francisco and now we’re in Tagum.  We’ve managed to explore a great deal of Mindanao.  Our highlights were definately seeing Rotary projects from water filtration, schools, day cares, medical missions and job creation programs for women and ‘differently abled’ Filipinos – and so many more that I’m sure I’m forgetting right now.

We’ve managed also to really get to know the culture and meet amazing people.  It’s crazy how you can spend just a few short days with a club and feel like you’ve known them forever.

I think we’ve also managed to establish a fun loving and adventurous reputation around here that has been preceeding us.  Perhaps the main reason is that we’re usually the first on the dance floor, the first to sing (with some prodding) and there may have been a little incident in San Frans where the entire team jumped in the pool in our GSE uniforms.

So we’re at a point in the trip where we are doing many lasts: presentations, host families, club greetings and travel days.  And we’re realizing that this motly crew gagthered from cities all over BC will have to say goodbye to this country that we’ve grown to love and to one another.  Sad day, but I think it just highlights how much we’ve learned and are growing as people.

Thanks for following and hopefully we’ll be able to post before we head back to the great white north!

Sonja.
