Really great pictures guys
I too was sharing this story with my family over Christmas. My next door neighbor is Filipino and came to the US as a little boy with his Father. He was really touched by the love and generosity. Scott

I cannot find the post where I put the number of toys I bought, but it was in the 780+ number and then Dixie also bought some more toys when he landed in Cebu on Caimito Street for around 30 kids. All of the remaining toys after our town on Christmas Eve, we went to Sillion a neighbor village and handed out the remaining toys in the "tricycle sleigh" on Christmas Day until they were gone, then we threw candy to the remaining kids as we parted with the children. |

Wonder if I can reply here now.
My phone or something has not been letting me post here for a few days so something was weird was happening. I can truly see why Tim lives here. The people are the most friendly people I have met in any of my travels. However, the internet sucks. I have no idea how he does it. LOL. You guys are the ones that made this happen. I am just thankful I have been here to be the recipient of the welcomes and gratitude that I have witnessed. Thank you all from my heart, this had been wonderful. |

We had some generator problems for a few days and were also busy with the Christmas things for awhile, but will try to get some more photos and info posted up soon.
I will post when I can when the generator is on in the evenings, and Rob will post up a lot more photos when he gets home to a faster internet connection than we have here. These are some photos below from the first Christmas Party we had on Caimito Street In Mandaue Cebu where I use to live, and where my wife's family all live, on the evening of the day that Dixie arrived on the 21st. There were about 30 kids that night that got toys, and we had a few extra presents in case any extra kids showed up. The following day while standing at the highway waiting for a bus, we gave a few extras out to some kids that just happened to walk by. Some of the kids lining up and getting ready. Tata getting instructions from Santa on how to use his camera. My Cigar smoking Auntie.. No way was this one gonna sit with Santa.. Kid is scared of white people... Rebels with a Claus. Tanduay Claus... |

Uhhh, Rob.
Either you are the most well endowed Santa on Earth or those condoms are waaaayy too big. Those are great pics and brought a tear to my eye. I love the ones where the kids are terrified of Santa! Well done guys!! I guess we'll have a collection next Christmas, so that Tim can buy himself a washing machine. Nice shirt buddy! |

I used to think being a kid on Christmas was the best thing ever.
As an adult I know that making kids smile on Christmas is the best thing ever |

WOW!
Look at all those smiles... I haven't been able to follow this thread with all the pictures, but am very happy that I can see them now. This is something that will not be forgotten by these kids. Oh, next year, Santa needs to bleach his eyebrows. |
