This week I took over another load of children’s clothes for Kalubian, the poor village where we have a church plant. As in most places in the Philippines there are children everywhere. And as in most poor places in the Philippines they rarely get new clothes. In this instance they were not getting ‘new’ clothes but secondhand ones, but from the response I got they could have been crafted especially for Harrods!
Babies clothes in particular are well received. For 2 reasons, firstly they are relatively expensive here, compared to adults clothes. And secondly because babies are in them for such a short amount of time before they outgrow them they don’t get a lot of use. Thus for mamy of the poorest clothes for their babies are a luxury they literally can not afford; something I would have found difficult to conceive of before working here.
Enjoy the photo! I enjoyed taking it.
