Today was day ONE here in the Philippines!
We started out with a visit to our Country office!
Our Country offices NEVER cease to amaze me.
The whole process, the staff, the organization. . . amazing!
Before leaving the sweet staff prayed over us and over this week.
See what I mean?
Now let me just say this afternoon was a blast!
My absolute favorite part of going on trips is getting to introduce a sponsor child to their sponsor!
We spent the day hanging out and playing with the kids at the zoo
aka
The Fun Ranch
So meet our bloggers and their sweet sponsor kids!
Be sure to check out their stories from today!
Meet Kat and MariCor
Stephanie and John Mark
Tsh and Denise
Lindsey and Angel
and Emily and Stacey
As Patricia said, ” You haven’t lived until you’ve experienced a zoo in a developing country”
And I must agree.

Caitlin S. - Keely, I think you may have one of the best jobs in the world! (Can I be your assistant, please, oh please?!)
I have been following the blogs for a while now, and one of my favorite parts of all the blogs is always your photography. I just love the pictures of the sponsors interacting with their kids at the zoo.
Thanks!

Roberta - Just so amazing that you are able to witness and capture the bloggers/sponsors with their sponsored children and families. Loved the peak at the bin of letters in the offices…another reminder for me to get off my duff and write to my kids. Oh boy…right after I finish reading the blog posts
Looking forward to the entire week with Compassion in the Philippines. Fondly, Roberta
