SO- I bet you think we forgot about the blog!! We did not...but have been traveling a little beyond the mission and have had very little time to sit at the computer.

Below is a great picture of the children displaying their Easter Egg finds! The Easter egg hunt was put on by Cynthia Alleman and Karen Smith! Karen, Psychologist, arrived SaturdayMarch 23. Cynthia, Speech Pathologist from Boise, arrived on Sunday, March 24!  Cynthia almost didn't arrive...her passport expired within the 6 month window for travel to Philippines! Even though she wasn't staying beyond a week, they wouldn't let her board in San Francisco- news to her until she was actually BOARDING the plane! So she had an unexpected overnight in San Fran and was able (at a cost!) to expedite her Passport....which she informed us is now good for 10 years! Good thing because the plan is for Cynthia to travel on additional ICSF missions to do speech therapy and add to the speech therapist "pool"!
 Karen spent 3 LONG days working and evaluating children with special needs at the city-run Center for Social Work Development in Dipolog where the children go for OT and PT; and some additional children who attend the special education program in the city!  She was a great support to the school and center since they have no access to a school psychologist!

More soon- I'm trying to compile more "before and after"pictures but have had trouble with my Iphone adding pictures to computer!  And to upload pictures to the blog- takes forever! Thanks to those who have checked frequently- sorry for the delay!
Again- Happy Easter to all!
