The Day Before

... the first batch heads to the island.

I've arrived Bacolod this morning from an excruciatingly long journey just to get to Negros.  However, as soon as I've step foot on Negros, I felt much better.

Joy was up so early and planning for his procurement for the day.  We got just few stuff left to buy and so we divided the remaining things on the list.   I went for the arts and crafts and he went to complete the family pack.

It was great news knowing that the market is back in Bantayan town which means we can buy the rest of the goods there and be true to our promise that we support the local economy.  I have ordered eggs (as Bantayan is the egg basket) from the local producer as well as the rest of the ingredients for our Christmas feast and for the volunteers food.

We have now almost 20 volunteers.  Half will head to the islet tomorrow via Sagay.  The next group headed by Shane will arrive on 23rd December via Cebu.  The last group before Christmas will arrive on the 24th bringing the rest of the goods from Bacolod.

So in 5 minutes, it will be 22nd December already... and I need to get up at 5am to prepare the transport to the islet.

We will keep you up to date as often as possible.
