#YouthBuild2013

So here it is. The day of event that we have been spending our time in preparing. Since I am assigned to to go with the bus that will pick-up volunteers in TIP-Manila, I was obliged to wake up at 2am. When we get to TIP, the number of people there were not more than the number of my fingers and toes. I was kind of  irritated because we are expected to fill up 8 buses, a coaster, and another 2 buses from San Beda and Letran. After 165 years of waiting, registration, and rolling on the road, we finally reached the site! HOORAY!!! :)

see that kid? :)

After a short program that includes an opening prayer, bit of orientation, and opening remarks from the executive of Habitat, the building finally started. people were really excited and eager to get their hands dirty for a good cause. :)

 

Let the building begin! :)

After a few hours of building, we have been awarded McDonald's for lunch. :) Of course, it was sponsored because the son of the owner of McDonald's Philippines is the present president of the Habitat Youth Council.

After lunch, we continued with the program. The mayor of Navotas joined us. The donation from Megaworld  was also acknowledged and presented. Cristalle Henares (Vicky Belo's daughter) was also present in the event.

This experience is really fulfilling and fun. I wish to join more builds. :) This build will not be possible if not with the guidance and will of God, and of course, people with kind hearts that volunteered and donated.
