New kapamilya for 2013!

We are delighted to have these 3 new children as part of the PCM family! Left pictures were taken on the day of their admission; right pictures were taken after a few months with PCM. We hope the pictures truly depict the difference of ministering with grace and acceptance. We look forward to seeing them grow in their relationship with Jesus and believe that the best is yet to come for them.

Summer Swimming!

This is what the children are looking forward to - a day under the sun and in the waters. This time they enjoyed the facilities of Villa Concepcion in Pandi, Bulacan. Nothing beats this fun!

College graduates!

PCM has produced 2 new college graduates, Maria Balcueva (BS Education) and Rowena Francisco (BS in Business Mgmt). Maria is now teaching in a pre-school in Balagtas, and continues to be involved as a leader in the church in PCM. Rowena is now with her family in Tala and continues to attend a Christian church there. We have been helping Rowena find a job by giving her allowance for her job applications.

We only want the most for these children with the best that we can. We believe this is also what God wants for them. Cheers for the graduates!

Making things better!

ICLM has given 3 gifts recently:

1) Walkway has been constructed between the kitchen and the main building to provide protection from the rains when the children are transferring big pots of cooked food.

2) We have 3 new giant 15 kg twin-tub washers. With these, Ate Helen and the children can finish their laundry in half a day on Saturdays, leaving them extra time for church activities in the afternoon.

3) The van underwent total body repair to remove the rust away in several areas of the body. Now it can serve the children well for several more years.

Very useful gifts indeed to make life better for the children and the staff!

Typing Lessons

Children posing with their own computer

A donor gave P20,000 so the children can have their own computer. Now they are learning typing lessons facilitated by Ate Janet. She started with the high schoolers who in turn will teach the elementary kids. Ate Janet is our college student doubling as associate staff.
