Remembering the Poor

The following videos are from a few of our many trips to the Lapu Lapu dumpsite to bless the poor. My first trip here was in 2006 with my friend Pastor Ray Nemenzo who was here everyday.

Jonathan narrates this video and I added subtitle explanations to aid the viewing of the video. John will use both English and Visayan languages. John will graduate in 2019 with a degree in special education. We filmed this day because it is in honor of my Dad’s 85th birthday.
