Arrived at Urban Promise house after a 45 minute bus journey from the west side to the east side of town to a good welcome!Jo had friends from last time very happy to see her and Cheska was made to feel welcome too. After the hellos many of the staff had meetings so we were shown to our room (see pic)and shortly after Jackie (a 16 yr old team leader) took us out for pizza for lunch.
After we unpacked our clothes, updated our diaries, had some 'God time' and a quick nap (3 days in and we're still not completely over jet lag!) By 6pm the house manager called us up for a Filipino dinner.We then all watched a foreign movie with English subtitles about a completely paralyzed stroke victim who managed to write a book through blinking to a note taker- eyeopening indeed!
Today we finally slept through to a normal time (6am for Jo and 8am for Cheska). We went to the mall (which is enormous) to buy phone cards and watched the film Love Guru with Mike Myers which is hilarious!
