Children's Mission is a non-profit organisation started by a Swedish couple long time ago. The organisation is funded by different Scandinavian companies including BioGaia. Children's Mission help poor families, orphans and give education to people who cannot afford it. It's an amazing job they do! To make a donation from their webpage click HERE.
Children's Mission is located about 1 hour drive outside of Manila city, the area is actually on a massive junkyard and most people make a living on collecting garbage. The air lies heavy with a garbage smell mixed with burnt plastic and coal. As you can probably imagine, it is not a pleasant scene or place. Life here compared to whatever I'm used to cannot be compared.
Because pictures tell more than a 1000 words, appreciate the small & big things you have! Not everyone is as fortunate
