"Here is a photo of the children at the jail during their Christmasparty. There are acutally two literacy centres at the jail... one for
the boys and one for the girls. There are two jails on the one compound
and the male and female sections are run by two different wardens, so we
are not allowed to combine the boys and the girls even though there are
about 23 boys and only 2 girls at the moment. The girls were allowed to
come to the party with the boys which was good because it would have
been too hard to have a party for two girls only!"
"In this photo one of the boys is singing a song composed by
streetchildren about life on the streets... it is called "May Bukas Pa,"
in English, "There is Still Tomorrow." It's a very sad and touching
song.... both of the girl inmates were quietly crying as he sang. The
fellow playing the guitar is Mr. Moises Elaco who is hired part-time to
help with driving and outreach for the literacy centres."
